Dear Editor: I can’t help but read all the negative feedback on the Camp Randall sculpture without blankly smiling and shaking my head. Madison, the bastion of culture, the home of the open-minded and outwardly thinking. Please prove that these are more than just words and meaningless talk.
Good art is often controversial. Otherwise it is generally stale, and just more decoration, like a flowerpot or a rug. I applaud the University of Wisconsin and Donald Lipski for exploring a vision and for trying to do something beyond the pedantic and boring.
