FWIW I, too, was glad when the Fearless Girl statue was moved, so that she challenged a building/institution rather than another work of art.

I'm not so sure that this exhibition is a flash in the pan, Jim. I mean, the "It's Pablo-matic" exhibition itself is, but if it allows the Brooklyn Museum to make buckets of money despite having so few actual Picassos on view, I'm sure other institutions will rush to try something similar.

A lot of us here have written throwaway poems riffing on various works of art, but we don't actually take a few thousand square feet of prime gallery space from more informed points of view when we present our gut reactions.

Still thinking about this, I guess. I reserve the right to change my mind.
