“But the artist was trying to convey how the average citizen looks at art. /s”

Or Stonehenge...

[Chickensoup]

looks like concrete

[Gay State Conservative]

God God...*I* could have done that!

[sparklite2]

They’ll look better covered
in obscene graffiti.

[super7man]

I’ve seen worse.

“Sell it to Los Angeles for £90,000 ($114,000). Tell them that the four structures represent the four letters in LGBT.”

But...but...but...what about QGDVPJRZ and B?

You bigoted Fascist, you!

[Leaning Right]

But...but...but...what about QGDVPJRZ and B? <

I actually thought about that. But no worries! Just track down the original “artist”, and have him/her/ze build more structures.

(I really should start a consulting business.)

This is fake news.
They’re replacing the plinths, with more plinths. I sounds like the contractors got the wrong finish on them, and will be replacing them under contract.

In Pittsburgh we have Frank Curto Park, where junk from previous Three Rivers Arts Festivals gets dumped.



Of course Jamestown, NY has us all beat with Scary Lucy.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Reminds me of some of the crap Claes Oldenburg used to pass off as ‘art’ across the world.

I’m always reminded of a museum who cleaned out their trash and called the trash men to haul it off. The trash men also hauled off a “Priceless statue” because it looked like common junk.

We have a "sculpture" at a park not far from us. It is a bunch of rocks, held together with wire. It is ugly as ----.

I would like to point out that this particular thing in the picture, looks, not only ugly, but, completely out of step with the surrounding architecture, which is lovely, really.

[dangus]

No, it’s ugly. It’s butt ugly. It looks like an abandoned building project... darkened, drab cement blocks signifying nothing.

[dangus]

I’ll be having the last laugh when we’re rescued by destruction from the cosmic warriors who return through that.

[Kommodor]

Hey, kid, you want a hit of Vitametavegamin???

[dfwgator]

“It tastes just like candy!”

[Conserv]

It’s an eye sore.

[SaveFerris]

[Art Van Furniture]

Is that......Art Vandelay Furniture in the background there?

[Larry Lucido]

Is that......Art Vandelay Furniture in the background there?

Yes, he's an importer/exporter, although he's thinking about focusing on the exporting more than the importing.

[sit-rep]

its always been an Islamic cresent to me... I thought the outcry was such they took it down already!?? no??

[ViLaLuz]

The Big O?
