Question ID:PT26 S2 Q24 Passage:Monica:  The sculpture commissioned for our town plaza has been scorned by the public ever since it went up.  But since the people in our town do not know very much about contemporary art, the unpopularity of the work says nothing about its artistic merit and thus gives no reason for removing it.Hector:  You may be right about what the sculpture's popularity means about its artistic merit.  However, a work of art that was commissioned for a public space ought to benefit the public, and popular opinion is ultimately the only way of determining what the public feels is to its benefit.  Thus, if public opinion of this sculpture is what you say, then it certainly ought to be removed.
