Sculpture not so appreciated in Boulder Because its crap!!

Homeowner, city ask artist to remove mystery sculptures by Monday
While the City of Boulder appreciates the fun-loving spirit in which two sculptures were anonymously placed this week, the recipients of the sculptures are asking the mystery donor to remove them by Monday, Dec. 20.
The two sculptures were left overnight earlier this week by an unknown person on a private homeowner’s lawn and on city property in front of the Boulder History Museum. The decision to ask the artist to take down the artwork was made as a result of a request by the private homeowner and a determination by city staff that all donated art is subject to city review policies.
It is the hope of both the homeowner and the city that the artist will reclaim the sculptures as requested, and then if he or she chooses, submit them for consideration pursuant to city policies on temporary and/or donated art. The identity of the artist remains unconfirmed.
On Monday, Dec. 20, if the artwork has not been removed, the sculptures will be removed and temporarily stored in a safe location while city staff determines if they have value to the city’s art program.
“Art is in the eye of the beholder, and we are delighted that this artist is exposing us to his or her artistic vision in unexpected places and ways. This speaks to our community’s love of creativity and expression,” said Arts Director Donna Gartenmann. “At the same time, however, the city has to recognize that there could be public safety and property rights considerations. We encourage artists to use the processes that have been established for these reasons.”
The city’s policies regarding the temporary display or donation of public art are available on the city’s homepage athttp://www.bouldercolorado.gov.
HANK BROWN’S CU-BOULDER CLASS HEADS TO WASHINGTON TO STUDY ART IN U.S. CAPITOL BUILDING
Nov 8th
The trip is part of his “Icons of the American Republic” class, which introduces students to the founding period of the United States through the events, concepts and individuals depicted in art exhibited in the U.S. Capitol Building. The 21 CU-Boulder students, along with five students from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, will get an extremely rare opportunity to visit the floors of both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.
This is the third consecutive year Brown has led students on the visit to Washington. The class trip is made possible by financial contributions from external donors.
According to Professor Ken Bickers, chair of the CU-Boulder political science department, “This is a remarkable opportunity for our students. They learn about the American experiment in national self-governance in the heart of the government itself from someone who has been an influential participant in that experiment.”
Brown has 30 years of public policy experience as a legislator, congressman, U.S. senator and higher education executive. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1981 to 1991 and in the U.S. Senate from 1991 to 1997.
He retired from the CU-Boulder faculty last year, but continues to teach the Icons of the Republic course through the political science department. He served as president of the University of Colorado from 2005 to 2008. Following his presidency, he was a tenured professor of political science and held the Quigg and Virginia S. Newton Endowed Chair in Leadership at CU-Boulder.
