Workers on Thursday finished dismantling a 150-foot liquefied natural gas tank in the Dorchester community. The tank, with its bright rainbow-colored paint job by the late artist Corita Kent, dominated the Boston skyline from the south. Two-inch painted pieces of the tank will be offered for sale starting next year as acrylic plastic-covered paperweights. "Hundreds of people called asking for a piece of the tank," said Frank Arricale, a BostonGas spokesman. The company will replicate some of the artwork on an adjacent tank.
