(And we saw the Maman at the Louvre too, pretty cool - http://www.flickr.com/photos/bikeriders/2559187954/in/set-72157605487916459/ ) It was a rainy day when I sent you that link so not many people were strolling. Watch on a sunny sunny day maybe. Not today, however!JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-50458039948780301522009-10-22T19:32:26.957-05:002009-10-22T19:32:26.957-05:00I didn’t know that colledge is in the UD.

When it was installed, they bolted it to the ground in a big way and waxed the surface. Then my husband (who is the security systems manager) installed a camera that surveys it 24/7. You can see for yourself at: http://www.gallery.ca/english/1946.htm<br /><br />Enjoy!JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-39023991154766797512009-10-21T14:11:44.270-05:002009-10-21T14:11:44.270-05:00I guess I’d like to think that a college campus is...I guess I’d like to think that a college campus is a place where works of art would have a safe home.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-61383904618628615042009-10-21T12:42:00.962-05:002009-10-21T12:42:00.962-05:00If the artist knew this was likely to happen, why ...If the artist knew this was likely to happen, why did he lend the sculpture? Why is there an unguarded sculpture garden if this happens frequently? Why bother? Seriously, it's not like putting art out continually is going to change the culture.<br /><br />I wonder if it was a decent sculpture. I'm not keen on contemporary art.Slywyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424323662407341123noreply@blogger.com
