Red art sculpture is available for the taking
This large red sculpture created by the late Condé Nast editorial director Alexander Lieberman is available. It's the one in front of the Grand Bay Hotel.They don't want it anymore and anyone with the means to move it, can have it.
I would love to see it moved across the street to one of the parks as part of an art in public places project.
The Sarasota sculptures were mentioned at today's Merchant's meeting. I explained how they could work in the Grove on South Bayshore Drive. Talk is out there now, so that's a start.

I bank at that Wachovia. Who the hell is gonna take that monster thing? I doubt anyone will. Too bad its not made of copper...
It's hideous. Looks like a stylized torpedo shooting for the sky ... or some other sort of symbol of masculine bravado!
No no no noooooooo! I'm sorry but I live in the short ugly building right next to Grand Bay Plaza and my apartment looks out over this statue and I've become quite fond of it. Ok, its not the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, but its better than nothing. Between this going away and the potential construction across at the Harbor I will no longer have any view.
Moving the statue to the park might be an acceptable solution, but only if the Grand Bay puts something else there instead.
I love the idea of the sculptures around the Grove, don't take them away, put more in!
Anyone human who ever thought this was art is stupid. It's no surprise they don't want this taking up space.
Ann Marie, yesssssssssssssssss. It's an eye sore and since when is open space a negative, if one follows your logic, parks, i.e., their open space should be filled with something other than nothing but open space. Junk like this is made by people and purchased by people who aren't artist and cannot produce art so they produce this stupid junk that as the Grape states no one wants.
Remember those stacked T-cups and the taxpayers of Miami were charged, I think about $240.000.00!People make this stupid stuff and it's everywhere, but if one keeps abreast you will see that the cities around the world are rejecting this junk and are begging people to get it out of sight and no taker. So much for this kind of art.
There was a pipe about this size in front of Star Island that lasted about 25 years. Over a period of 25 years I dove up well over 1,500 lobster out of this one pipe. Grape, do you feel they were serious?
Forget the sculpture. What's going on with the building itself? It doesn't seem as if anyone is working on it anymore. It looks abandoned. I rode my bike through the car entrance on bayshore midday and didn't see anyone working. Then, when I thought about it, it seems as if I haven't seen anyone working on it for quite a while. Is it going to be a tear down?
I'll miss the big giant phallus on my trips to the bank.
We should try to work out a exchange deal with the guy who builds the steel animals at the art show. He can have the red sculpture in exchange for two steel entering the Grove Sculptures for 27 Avenue. In good taste please.
Put Sarnoff in the barrel. Put 75 pounds gun powder in the other end, point it towards Coral Gables, light and run.
