I fear that they will be there for a very long time, Ella, as they have gotten the hotel a lot of attention--including an image in the NY Times. On the level of sheer spectacle I think they're a great success. In terms of art, they're one of the most vapid pieces I've ever seen in my 7+ yrs of living in the city. The message is so generalized as to be meaningless.
Beautiful... so they haven't removed those hands yet, just off Campo san Sofia, even though the Biennale is over?
