Comment on: Architects dismiss Olympic sculpture
Oh and another thing Boris, watch out because the people at Middlesbrough are so embarrassed about it all that the guy who so boldly commissioned was recently given the heave ho. Start packing up your desk now.
Comment on: Architects dismiss Olympic sculpture

Comment on: Architects dismiss Olympic sculpture
Dear Sir Terence I don't think the steel is coming from Corus. Their Middlesbrough plant is shutting partly because Anish's other ugly sculpture being built on the banks of the Tyne is made from seel from the Netherlands not the local mill. Dear Mr Serota, You seem to think that architects should be flattered by the fact that 'Anish wanted to be there'. Is he some sort of god? In our discipline works are commissioned on the basis on whether they are any good or not. Not on the basis of who designed them. The art world is full of sycophants.
