:
|
Since its installation at and subsequent removal from New York City's Federal Plaza, noted sculptor Richard Serra's Tilted Arc has been a touchstone for debates over the role of public art.

She examines the tactics of those opposed to the sculpture and the media's superficial and sensational coverage of the.
