New-yorkers, my regrets. Tsereteli makes VERY BIG and UGLY sculptures.

[RandallFlagg]

It's the thought that counts.

It's gotta be better than the, "Artwork," put out by Michael Moo.

Actually Bayonne, NJ. Might even improve the place!

GRIEF TEAR - Artist Zurub Tsereteli designed a 98-foot bronze monument to commemorate people lost in the 1993 and 2001 World Trade Center attacks. A giant tear made of nickel will hang in the middle of the structure.

Well, it is the thought that counts. At least he did not try to 'understand' the terrorists like some Libs here were trying to do.

Here's an illustration of the monument.

Agree. Tsereteli has disfigured Moscow, now wants to do it with NY. Kick him out!

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Looks good to me, though many libs would have prefered a smily face.

[ncountylee]

I guess I've seen uglier, there is Hillary the beast.

Tsereteli and the mayor of New Jersey

My first thought: Mayor of NJ?? Then I realized it was from a Russian publication.

Uh, that kinda looks like...uh...a female part....

[processing please hold]

My critique of art ends at stick figures...but I think it's pretty. I like it.

Uh, that kinda looks like...uh...a female part....

Maybe with a pair of binoculars.

It's really an interesting design, but much too BIG.

My husband was born and raised in Bayonne. It's become quite run down since he left, although he grew up in one of the nicest sections. However Bayonne has always been the butt of jokes, like New Jersey in general but exponentially. I guess it makes people feel better about where THEY live.

[Maigrey]

Beauty is the in the eye of the beholder.

And, his efforts will be appreciated.

'weeping twat',

ROTFLMFAO

[Prodigal Son]

Looks like a big Dali painting.

I did some contract work out at the naval base in Bayonne before the first Gulf War. Seeing all the tanks and heavy armor lined up and getting loaded onto ships day after day after day was pretty amazing. And New Jersey has lots of beautiful places - and I imagine Bayonne does too. However - Bayonne from what I saw was very much a factory and shipping port city.
