Do you want some art criticism from me? As in why I like the piece or do you want something on what makes the piece good?

I don't know if it is 'good' or not in terms of the skill of the sculptor, but Noguchi has some pieces in Seattle that I absolutely love. He did the 'Black Sun' piece in Volunteer Park which supposedly was the inspiration for the Black Hole Sun song, or at least that was the rumor when I lived in Seattle.

In terms of the sculpture, I find the oddness of it very striking, but I've never seen this sculpture in person, so I can't tell you whether I would have the same reaction in person. The sculpture seems pristine which adds to the weirdness, and I think that juxtaposition between the material of the sculpture and the content of the sculpture creates tension in the piece. Overall, I'd like to see it in person as well as Noguchi's other work in New Orleans.
