Review:

Contemp. art looks good on plinths in public spaces. There should be more of it. Schutte's glass 
does nice things with columns, the sky, the building. The sign on it saying model for a hotel seems to 
be a bit over explanatory, but perhaps that makes it all funnier. The irony or lack of, or joke, is often of 
the annoying kind where there is no right answer, and no real joke, just a refusal to be pinned down, 
Still this work work despite or because. More art in public not made of bronze. Now!
