bzzz bzzz bzzz I adore Twombly...Where is the show?

I agree with Merlin though. The Gates was just as good on paper. It did not have to be erected. Another "score" for the idiot Philistine Bloomberg, intent on ravaging Manhattan however he can. Make the city a tourist trap instead of a livable entity. Yes Merly it WAS all about how many heads, and how much money it generated. A few hot dog sellers and t-shirts vendors made out. Wow, what a boost for the economy.

What was even more wretched was Christo conveniently positing that the art was about "nothing". What profundity. Just what we require, oh visionary, further anomie for this etiolated age!

Why didn't Bloomberg suggest Christo fund one of the falling-down rotten public schools that don't even have enough toilet paper, never mind enough teachers? Because that would suggest that there actually might be a problem over in that direction...

Lexy's point here that Art is art, and $20 Million here doesn't mean there should be $20. million over there is very well-reasoned, but in the end, that's a bloodie cold line!
