SAM Drops Its Flying Taurus Display

buscartoon

So, when you used  go into SAM, your first challenge was walking under seven white Fords .. Taurus or maybe Tauri. These ugly things were fastened helter skelter to the ceiling and decorated with LCD lights as in some suburban Christmas display.   The cards began as a performance piece, a gift to SAM by some  fat cat who made a LOT of money off the tax benefit.  Asked how much the wrecks would be worth now that they will be in storage, a SAM representative climes that the art would be worth more than seven used Ford cars!

The Seattle Art Museum has just announced that it was going to remove its iconic (some would say notorious) display of exploding cars from the museum lobby.

So the obvious question is what will take it’s place. It occurs to me that something more suited for the Seattle psyche would be more appropriate.  Maybe hang some of the RVs now being used to house the homeless?
