Public Art Questions

• What should be the role of government funding?• What is an artist's rights to his or her work?• What role does the public have in determining

the value of a work of art? • Should public art be judged by its popularity?

"I don't think it is the function of art to be pleasing, Art is not democratic. It is not for the people.“ –Richard Serra
