The Sumpton town council recently voted to pay a prominent artist to create an abstract sculpture for the town square  Critics of this decision protested that town residents tend to dislike most abstract art, and any art in the town square should reflect their tastes
But a town council spokesperson dismissed this criticism, pointing out that other public abstract sculptures that the same sculptor has installed in other cities have been extremely popular with those cities' local residents
public art that the residents of Sumpton would find desirable would probably be found desirable by the residents of other cities
