Update: North Shore Bank of Commerce purchased “Rope” for $1,000. It will join the bank’s growing art collection. North Shore has been collecting works from the Duluth Art Institute's biennial for many years. The majority of them are on permanent display at the bank, scattered throughout various offices and foyers.
