No. But the way it is asymmetric somehow irritates me, like the artist was just sloppy, even though I’m sure the pompous git had some artsy “reason” for it.
That’s it - it would irritate me slightly less. “Pompous git” sums up my feelings perfectly - “Here we have the slightly irregular leg, showing how mankind is always just a little bit imperfect…” or whatever pompous gitty crap he would have spewed about it.
As in Mark Twain? Yipes.
It would be interesting to hear what Sam C. might have said about it.
Alas, never shall they meet.
Along with some pretty cool sculptures, there are some creepy Cthulhu-like ones in Puerto Vallarta

When I worked across the street from it, it basically served as an open-air pissoir for the bums. The best thing I ever saw was one night when some practical jokers temporarily turned the whole thing into giant dominoes. They magnetically stuck markings on each of the panels to make them look like monstrous dominoes, sunk about a third of the way into the ground. Funny thing was, that actually looked pretty cool.
Denver has more godawful public art than the Mustang from Hell (which I thought was a April Fool prank when I first heard about it)and the Dancing Aliens…we have our own 1920s Style Ray Gun and more even worser stuff! http://www.guidespot.com/guides/denvers_ugliest_public_art
And by the way, that is some scam Richard Serra has going on. Does he pull names for his irregular walls out of his ass?
