Finally decided that people would be the sculpture for the plaza. As Phillys Lambert has said, people make the plaza change all the time. Thankfully this interventions are temporary, but unlucky the ones who travel to NY to see this marvelous building and have to see this space ruined with this unfortunate "work of art".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908570265760293408.post-12030226149519664032011-06-30T14:24:58.918-07:002011-06-30T14:24:58.918-07:00Absolutely fantastic!

And no, the majority doesn't need to understand it for something to be Art, just like the majority doesn't need to understand the fact that Bush served two full terms. It is Art and he did, end of story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908570265760293408.post-25648388505281709092011-05-10T18:50:31.877-07:002011-05-10T18:50:31.877-07:00If most people don't see it, it isn´t working....If most people don't see it, it isn´t working. Don't you think? So this piece of "art" is totally wrong even in delivering its message. <br />I agree with it being hideous and ridiculous, it is terrible that people today can think this is art. And it shouldn't be in this plaza, one of the most important modern spaces in the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908570265760293408.post-81430675452149577992011-05-09T08:32:25.442-07:002011-05-09T08:32:25.442-07:00I cannot understand that most people writing about...I cannot understand that most people writing about this piece are not seeing that it clearly depicts a metal lampshade deeply embedded into a toy's cranium.

I work in this building. What a monstrosity, and waste of valuable plaza space all summer long. Instead of tables/chairs with sun umbrellas, which would make this plaza come alive all summer, they plop this thing down. A bear with lamp on its head? It actually looks like the Energizer Bunny with an electrocution device on its head. The artist must be laughing his a** off.

I walk past it twice a day and see it from my office. Not so great a piece, sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
