Sculptor who killed dog set to make San Francisco Central Subway art | Joshua Sabatini | Transportation | San Francisco ExaminerA Brooklyn artist who once shot and killed a dog and called it art has landed a coveted $750,000 city art contract for the Central Subway. As if the $1.6 billion railway werent controversial enough, artist Tom Otterness commission can be expected to generate criticism from dog lovers and animal rights groups. In June, the board of directors of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency approved a contract with Otterness for 59 bronze sculptures to fill three levels of the proposed subways Moscone station. An agency spokesman said the board was unaware of Otterness controversial past and relied on a recommendation from the Arts Commission. But in May, animal rights groups and dog lovers blasted a planned Otterness art project involving bronze lions at a New York Public Library branch. An online petition to revoke the commission was signed by 11,209 people.
They put the icon of Christian identity, the Crucifix in a vat of urine and called it art and nobody complained and they took a statue of the Virgin Mary and smeared it with animal feces and nobody complained. A dead dog as art? It can't be worse than Jackson Pollack's puke. Get a life.

The most shallow comparison I've ever witnessed.
EDIT: never mind, my mistake.
Liberals are up in arms over public funds being spent on art. I guess some tax money being spent on art is bad after all.Sculptor who killed dog set to make San Francisco Central Subway art | Joshua Sabatini | Transportation | San Francisco ExaminerA Brooklyn artist who once shot and killed a dog and called it art has landed a coveted $750,000 city art contract for the Central Subway.

Shallow means approval doesn't it, especially when it comes to pop-art. Don't make me bring up the gang of factory workers in Warhol's corrupt pop-culture society. It makes a dead dog smell good.
I can not believe SF paid money to a man who shot a dog as "art" to do public sculptures.

I love dogs but you just made me laugh....
"man kills dog, gets art contract"

You get a life.
Anyone who dismisses a dog's life is suspect in my book. Dogs trump Jesus and Pollack. Any sick fuck touches my dog, I'll tear his eyes out and call it art.
Just did.Anyone here ever read To Build A Fire, by Jack London?
