That's pretty much the functional definition of modern art.

The Mark Center cost $700,000,000. The frog cost $600,000. That's 6/7000 of the total cost, or 3/3500, or 1/1200 approximately.

That's one of those numbers that gets rounded off in a project like this.

On the other hand most people imagine that government facilities should be as plain as possible ~ no art, not even employee pictures hanging on walls in their own offices.

Painting the local post office's walls ALWAYS draws its share of complainants, several of whom will always write to the PMG and their local Congress Critter about "wasting money".

Frankly, I think they should have set up a gallery where they used a cheap $50 projector to show donated amateur porn movies all day on a plain white painted wall.

It,s part of the plan...

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “ Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
