“Cleopatra’s Wedge”
_

The original idea was to surround it with smaller sculptures, but that would have been a mistake, the kind of art-overkill favored by dealers selling sculpture.
Illuminated at night by rather awkward-looking above-ground lighting detracts from its monumental presence. But it sits within a circle surrounded by young trees, modest benches and wending walkways — inviting links to think about the difference between “plop” art (sculptures insensitive to site, such as the rusting heap in Catalano Park) and this carefully sited beauty on the lower East Side.
