A “masturbatory metal homage”

I have to tell you something. I live around here, and I understand the message they were trying to send, but the sculpture is just awful. From no angle anywhere does it remind me of two people in a loving embrace. It's an eyesore.

The Boston Common is THE OLDEST public park in America and the absolute epicenter of the American Revolution.

An argument can be made for all sorts of modern art creations and it is a big country and a big world out there and there are lots of places to try out various expressions. Go for it. But the Boston Common is not one of them and the Boston Common is not the Burning Bush Festival.

What the hell are they thinking? The Boston Common is sacred American turf.
 


‘Woke’ $10M MLK ‘penis’ statue insults black community: Coretta Scott King kin

Seneca’s grandfather was one of 25 children of Jeff Scott, the son of a slave who became one of Alabama’s wealthiest black landowners, Seneca said. His grandfather’s brother, Obadiah, fathered Coretta, whom Seneca said he met once at a family reunion before her 2006 death.

Seneca told The Post that while he couldn’t speak for other members of the family, he felt the 25-foot-wide, 65,000-pound sculpture was a “waste of money” that should be “melted down.

The Brits heartily approve erecting something that looks like an oversized turd in Boston Common.

There's no way the sculptor didn't see it. The guy/gal is obviously talented and knew what they were doing. I can see they were going for Kapoor's "bean" from Chicago but the abstraction should've been corrected instead of injecting controversy from lackluster execution.
