"Tumbling
Woman"
Eric Fischl
| Fischl's bronze, a statue of a falling woman,
was designed as a memorial to those who
jumped or fell to their death from the World Trade Center. It was abruptly
draped in cloth and curtained off on September 18th, 2002 because of complaints
that it was too disturbing. A spokeswoman for Rockefeller Center apologized
if anyone was upset or offended by the display of the sculpture, claiming
that
was certainly not their intent. Despite the obvious graphicness of the piece, opinions
were evenly split on whether it should be displayed or not. Officials at
Rockefeller Center had the work removed. |
