I don't think I'll ever see, a hideous mid-century inspired modern sculpture as lovely as a tree!

I’ll never forget sauntering into the Hirshorn to find a piece of plywood hanging on display, complete with focused lighting and the artist‘s card on the wall next to it…. I was in such disbelief a security guard also sauntered over as I got closer … and closer to it, peering to see what I was missing.

Turns out I wasn’t missing anything. It. Was. A. Fvcking. Piece of 4x8 plywood ….

I asked the guard, “W. T. Holy. Fock?”

He just rolled his eyes and let out a big sigh …

Are those 'plates' made of AR500 steel? Asking for a friend.

The 'artist' is from Baltimore Md.?? There's a problem right there, and the Lewes Art Committee had to pass up numerous junk yards, junk stores, and that guy outside of Lincoln DE. with the spooky mannequins guarding a whole yard full of 'art work' ALL the way to Baltimore? We got good junk right here!!

The Lewes Public Art Committee unanimously voted to have artist DeWitt Godfrey remove the “Paviljoen” sculpture from Canalfront Park.

At its meeting Jan. 2, the committee discussed the possibility of buying it and moving it elsewhere in the city. Ultimately, committee members decided it would be too expensive, take too much time and could take money away from other art projects.

“If we come up with a ton of money, magically, then we can discuss moving it. Until then, I think it’s over,” said committee member Steve Walker.

“Paviljoen,” which is Dutch for pavilion, was installed in July, two months later than expected because the original cement base cracked and had to be replaced. It was intended to be temporary and on display for six months.

Janet Reeves, parks and marina manager and acting assistant city manager, said the city has informed the committee that Canalfront Park can no longer be used for public art installations because it is a stormwater biofiltration area.

She said once the sculpture and base are removed, the area will be restored.

That thing is hideous. Looks like pieces of a ship torpedoed and blown up by a U-boat.
