Andrew Wielawski of Bedford Hills, NY
sledgehammered a 2500 lb. marble sculpture into pieces
on January 5th, 2007, in the Esplanade Plaza, on Marco
Island. "This artwork did not send any message that I know
of to it's intended audience," said the artist.
"There's a lot of bad artwork out there, and if these
creations don't say anything to anyone, then I think
the artists themselves have to assume the
responsability, rather than blaming an 'uneducated'
public." Andrew Wielawski has been a Premiere Portfolio Member at absolutearts.com since 2003. Read more about the destruction of Wielawski's own work in his blog on absolutearts.com on Thursday, January 11, 2007.
