Ugly piece of
post-modernist dreck with a $2 million dollar price tag. I never knew Senator
Fulbright, of course, but I'd bet he'd have preferred more funding to the scholarships named after him, than this piece of garbage.
I hate the description of
phallic, believing that
columns are merely functional, but there's no other way to describe this thing. It's several meters high, made out of varied-length bars of a dark brown metal, stuck to each other at
right angles. It looks like some sort of
alien weapon. How it's supposed to symbolize
peace is utterly beyond me...oh, and it barely fits the definition of
fountain either, as the water merely pools out at the base, and doesn't really interact with the so-called
sculpture at all.
