Public Art in Private Spaces



Pop artist Claes Oldenburg once remarked, "I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum" (Hughes 356).

How's that working out for ya? This seminal monumental sculpture was spotted under lock and key in the Morse College courtyard (Yale University). I say make public art public again and drive that thing down to the New Haven Green.

What are your thoughts?

i agree with you. They should move it to the New Haven green because its not doing no good behind the locked doors of Yale which only a few Yale students who live in that dorm see it.
