  • Yeah that's pretty much what the lady told me, and it cost £90,000.

    I guess tourism is a plus, it bought me in and I bought a pasty, a Danish and a coffee, so 30,000 more me's and it's community neutral.

  • of course they hate it. they always do. I'm not saying there's nothing better to spend the money on but if you made that, sold it, took a comission, installed it all for 90K that's a bargain. I bet the contract to maintain those plater beds is more than that.

    Richard pears has the right idea

    "A sculpture that nobody gave a damn about would be a complete waste of everybody’s time. I would take a talking point over a boring piece of art any day.”

    It's better and 10 times cheaper than an anthony gormely which seems to be the go to nonsense for public sculpture https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-56169714

  • Moreso that Antony Gormley isn’t really revelant nowadays as he was several decades ago.

    With new artists and sculptors out there, they’d have be able to create amazing artwork that work for everyone, especially in this moment in times with the changing landscape (think BLM for example).
