then put a thumb on the ####ing scale. $2.25 million is a stupid amount of money for a foreign artist. This is riling me up more than it should. I understand the treaty part and had not considered that. I am sure there are ways around it. Have a local organization 'donate' the statue to the City.
Whatevs. pisses me off.
