re: Demon Statue added behind old K&B building in New Orleans

The building was built for the John Hancock Company; K&B occupied it later after donating the old K&B headquarters to the CAC. The building is actually on the national register of historic places, but YMMV.

The sculpture has been there for years. It is not new; it just sits on the back of the property (private) almost under the expressway, completely out of view.

I don't think that it is a Noguchi. The concrete water feature in the front is a Noguchi.

Besthoff was an odd guy who probably found it funny and a bit subversive.

I guess he was just waiting for the TD Poli Board to get worked up over it.
