Wow this truly shows how not everybody has the same views on things. To one person this sculpture was art and to another a means to gain money from scrapping it. Very sad indeed.
That statue didn't deserve to be melted down. It looks so cool, but now no one will ever see it again. It is sad indeed.
It is so sad to see art work destroyed fora profit. It makes me think of the detrustion of Penn Station that we discussed in Art 5. That piece of art work will neer exist in that state again. I we destroy all art work of the past our childre nand grandchildren will not get to enjoy these things.
