Targeting bankers?

Follow-up to Public Art and public Morals from Giulia's blog

I don't know why but it seems there's a preference for displaying public art in financial districts.

Maybe because those working there are just too busy to look out of their office windows and if they pass by the artwork, they're always in a rush to go back to work? I really wonder if bankers are less likely to complain about artworks since they're busy with other stuff.

If you put a sculpture in a public park or in a place where people already gather in their free time, it really needs to be a good artwork as people will definitely take the time to look at it...
