craft is looked down upon at times in the present,but the arts and crafts movement at its time was regarded as one of the strongest and earliest American art movement. I love hand carved oak furniture. However I don't feel Serra's tilted arc is any way going in the right direction. Yes maybe he makes a lot of money on his steel sculptures but it doesn't equate to a functional or thoughtful piece. I'm surprised it stayed up for so long. The highest art at one time was to actually make an object by hand from the land. Now it seems as though all an artist has the do is birth an idea or ideal and with enough money he or she can put to work nameless artisans. I suppose with the economy in the state that it is putting nameless artists to work as pedestals for a well known artist isn't the worst thing but they should at least receive credit.
