I trudged over to Crissy Field...You sure nailed it. I trudged over to Crissy Field trying to keep an open mind. All I could think of is how ugly these macho phallic pieces are. How and why he got so popular is beyond me. Well, I have my theories but should probably not sprout off on your blog. Mike is right about the abomination at the Legion. That orange monstrosity should go under the wrecking ball. Not only does it block the beautiful view, it destroys the beautiful circle of the fountain. Somebody thought they were being really chic and trendy to buy this. Somebody was wrong.

As for the signage, ArtSpeak almost ...Philistine. <br /><br />As for the signage, ArtSpeak almost always sounds like a parody of itself so your reaction is perfectly sane. Not a big fan of di Suvero's work, and positively hate his huge sculpture near the fountain at the Legion of Honor parking lot, which merely blocks the great view from the top of the hill.
