Atlas in New York

There was a time when the government spent a lot of money to put people to work.  They built infrastructure like building and roads, planted trees, created great engineering works like the Hoover Dam and in the process employed artists to enrich our lives.

Artists have always pressed the limits of sensibility but the enduring works seem to show us a future.  Funny thing, I don't think the average tax payer would object to this, but someone would and it would probably not be commissioned in todays world.
