For better or worse, the critics will have to relocate to get away from the art they hate so much. But not <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/detourart/2734512220/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, it's where Adickes' crazy folk-art twin brother makes his giant art.

Paintings, sculpture, the whole oeuvre. Every bit of it is derivative and trite and a blight on the city. The lobby of the Omni hotel, otherwise a nice place, is infested with his dreadful 1960's-style paintings. The public sculptures are just plain awful.

Must be my art school training showing.... laughter. However, his pieces litter our swampscape, so I have become used to ignoring them.
