The Larry Rivers “Legs” sculpture controversy that has been kicking up such a stir in the Hamptons may be over soon. The Sag Harbor Zoning Board will hold a public hearing on February 21 to decide whether or not to let this art stand. The 16-foot landmark on the Vered-Lehr property appeared on the front pages of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and foreign papers as far-flung as Australia and New Zealand, as well as on television.
What do you think—should the art be allowed to stand?
YES
LET THEM STAND
How come the town never said a word about the art that has been on their property for years ? Always a sculpture in their yard and nobody has said a peep !
And the Legs was from our ‘own’. The maestro, Larry Rivers.
What’s wrong w that town ? Good lord, let them be, they’re an important part
of the East End’s neverending legacy.
Of course there’s a giant Richard Serra sculpture free standing right on Ocean Road in front of the Rizzoli home.
And numerous sculptures all throughout the Hamptons, with some right down from Dan’s Papers on your side of the road.
It’s a travesty, to even have to go through this, being bothered on your own property…..
