I saw it for the first time on Tuesday and remember it being nicer than I expected.

I read it as brace as in brace for impact, would probably be more fitting I don’t see how that’s an embrace

It’s the Boston Common. So the land is city controlled.

Let them provoke thought with a statue of an old racist politician.

Fair enough. Private money can be spent however they want. Was the land purchased as well? What was there previously?

Your mistake is getting produce at TJ's. I go there every week and spend an average of about $70 and about $30 at the big chain

It was privately funded. Not city money.

I can't tell: is this one of those right angles you mention?

Here in Orlando, there was once a work of art called "the pineapple". That wasn't the actual name but that's what everyone called it because that's what it looked like. It was ugly, and it pissed people off to the point where some would latch it to the back of their pick up trucks and try and tear it off its base. I expect similar things for for this.

I don't know what to think about the statue, but I helped make the bronze plaques in the tile. That part looks great though and was a challenge to meet the specs that the stone cutters required. There is a lot of hand finishing done to these parts and a lot of people put in many hours to get it correct.

I would much rather have a quality piece of statuary.

I get what Op is trying to say, but with a 3D medium, artists need to design for all viewing angles- not just 1.

You could have twice as many groceries if you shopped at Aldi.
