Greetings Listers:

An article has appeared on MSNBC.com, regarding the draping, and upcoming removal of a sculpture by Eric Fischl.  The sculpture, intended as a memorial to victims of September 11th, was placed in Rockefeller Center.  After some complaints, the statue was draped, and is reported to be scheduled for removal.  To read the articles, go to:

I am interested in listers' opinions on this.  I can't help but be reminded of all of the PC flack that came out in the 1990s regarding exhibitions and controversial works (can anyone say Enola Gay?)  However, this is a different situation, but still very interesting.
