I love it and wish we had a companion piece here in San Diego the land of public atrocious art. I can visualize it even being larger, say a cross walk over one of our roadways. <br />Hurray for giant kitties!MadameMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772695794675646628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446115869716046517.post-70068281453701800262011-08-30T23:05:48.876-04:002011-08-30T23:05:48.876-04:00very ugly!!very ugly!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446115869716046517.post-70399519785731812312011-08-30T16:06:33.949-04:002011-08-30T16:06:33.949-04:00I think whether or not one likes the sculpture and...I think whether or not one likes the sculpture and whether or not a community should, in good conscience, spend $60,000 on an art installation are two different issues. I wouldn't care if it was the Mona Lisa. Communities world-wide are struggling to provide, basic, necessary services to their citizens. Spending $60,000 on an art installation is unconscionable.Pumpkinpuddyhttp://pumpkinpuddy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446115869716046517.post-3866676799830561172011-08-30T15:58:31.554-04:002011-08-30T15:58:31.554-04:00Hmm I'm not keen, but then, I'm not overly...Hmm I'm not keen, but then, I'm not overly appreciative of modern art in general.
