This sculpture exemplifies just about everything I dislike about public art, so I was conflicted about being the one nudging it toward its moment of web glory. But, the prospect of having hundreds of people read an article about an outdoor sculpture was just too tempting. Sure enough, it got more than 2,300 hits during its 6 hours as a DYK hook. “Whoa.”</p>http://publicartweb.tumblr.com/post/2503474905http://publicartweb.tumblr.com/post/2503474905Tue, 28 Dec 2010 18:09:34 -0500<p>The effort to document Milwaukee&#8217;s public art collection in Wikipedia hit a milestone today: <a title="Milwaukee Public Art Template" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:MilwaukeePublicArt">30 articles are now live</a>.

The park is about 15 minutes by hoof from campus. Once there, I became determined to locate the sculpture I had heard was the oldest in Milwaukee. After several wrong turns and almost giving up completely, I found it near the lagoon.</p> <p><a title="SIRIS " target="_blank" href="http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=12U80581OT789.42959&amp;profile=ariall&amp;uri=link=3100006~!211930~!3100001~!3100002&amp;aspect=Browse&amp;menu=search&amp;ri=5&amp;source=~!siartinventories&amp;term=Hauge%2C+Gustav%2C+carver.&amp;index="><em>Spirit of Commerce</em></a> is more than twice my height, quite imposing. It is cast in zinc, which gives it a weird greenish glow. Even though it was restored in the mid-1990s, it is still rather neglected. The figure&#8217;s robe is scarred with black graffiti.</p> <p>I&#8217;ve visited the sculpture several times now. Tonight I finally had time to finish my <a title="Spirit of commerce" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_of_commerce">Wikipedia article</a> about it.</p>http://publicartweb.tumblr.com/post/1403355635http://publicartweb.tumblr.com/post/1403355635Mon, 25 Oct 2010 22:41:09 -0400
