Wow. I am so disappointed in this commentary. I seldom comment, ever. But, I have to today. I have been faithfully following your commentary for several years now. I thought this was the place where reason could always be found. This young black artist created a modern art piece that symbolizes Love, A Universal Embrace, which was what MLK was all about. The artist dedicated this piece to his grandmother and his solid upbringing that was founded on the principles that MLK lived. And here you have given space for all the attention getting perverts who are trying to sexualize this beautiful interpretative piece. It passed a lot of scrutiny before it was placed. Oh boy, get back on the real, important issues and apologizes to the artist.
I've kind of wondered if this is one of those things that would look better in person. I mean, there's are angles of The David were it becomes apparent the legs are two entirely different lengths. Also the cousin who hates it lives in Oakland, CA. Has he seen it in person?
Context matters, it's in a public place and people can interact with it by walking underneath it or through it, like Cloud Gate ("The Bean") in Chicago's Millennium park. I'd imagine the good angles face the directions the statue is approached from, and the weirder angles face trees or something. I'd take criticism a lot more seriously if it were from someone who had actually visited the place and seen it in context.
I grew up in the Boston area, and still read the Boston Globe and follow Boston/Massachusetts/New England feeds on social media. I have yet to see a picture taken at an angle that makes me say "yes, this is great".

Well said!
As any artist knows: once you release it to the world, the beauty is then in the eye of the beholder, regardless of intent.
