Tiger Spot
Paul Jackson's Tiger Spot was completed and unveiled in October 2001 but the mosaic began to show signs of wear that were likely due to weather. A consultant concluded the mosaic was not built properly.[1] The mosaic was covered by a circular tarp in 2007 and the University of Missouri-Columbia spent $112,508.63 attempting to sustain it.[2] Jackson sued the University in 2011.[3] The lawsuit settled in 2012 with Jackson receiving $125,000 to dismiss the litigation.[4]
