The power to choose public art should lie with the people

Art in public spaces really gets the juices flowing - informed critical juices, deeply felt uncritical ones, preciously held sheer prejudice. What matters is that the presence of a work of art in a public space - 'our' space, 'free space' perhaps - invites a feeling of ownership, of involvement of a very direct kind. Despite the huge numbers who visit galleries and museums, most people don't. If they do, the convention of the art gallery is that the art work is entitled to be there and your right to question it is correspondingly limited. But in the street where you live, the supermarket where you shop, the square where you sit, you have a right to state an opinion.

Who doesn’t like Edward Hopper or Michelangelo? But I met John Chamberlain, who makes sculptures from crushed cars, and Joan Mitchell’s abstracts in the pages of Art + Auction, an oversized monthly that marries “Page Six” to features on, as Sondheim wrote in “Sunday in the Park With George,” “the art of making art.”
