As for the rock... call me a philistine, but this is the most extreme example of an artist's ego run amok I've ever seen, not to mention the gradiosity of the donors who paid the $10 million to move it into the city. Of course, NYC has its art-world foolishness too... we did have the similarly overblown Christo thing in Central Park a few years ago--interesting, until you realized that it was more like walking through a long carwash than art. Even out there, the rock seems to be more of a joke than art. From what I can tell, everyone is L.A. is already sick to death of hearing about the rock! Of course, I must remember that it's a "specially selected" rock.... but why move it at all?
