After laying an egg the size of The Bean in Chicago (sorry, Cloud Gate, one day Anish Kapoor will be called to account for that particular boondoggle), the Mariners limp into Houston for an important AL West showdown. Today I learned Kapoor also has a related work in Houston, Cloud Column, which is basically Cloud Gate but standing up, known by some Houstonians as “El Frijole”, and if it wasn’t for amount I enjoy Claes Oldenburg I’d say maybe public art was a mistake.
(Look at the lone picture I could find of Cloud Column and tell me this isn’t the most Houston take on art. The photograph is itself better art.)
