There was a story about this on the Atlanta news last night, and they (of course) flashed to a picture of the statue. Now, I wasn't in New York to witness those poor people jumping to their deaths, but the image of that statue was still extremely disturbing to me. I can only imagine how upsetting it was to the eyewitnesses of the tragedy. I'm glad that they removed it from Rockefeller Center. I just wish that it had never been put there in the first place.
I understand that freedom of expression allows artists to depict disturbing events, and I'm not against that freedom. However, I personally find the sculpture in question to be tasteless and insensitive, and I feel that it was extremely poor judgement that caused it to wind up as an exhibit in New York of all places. Just my .02!
