“Sky Mirror” Needs Windex!

Will someone please use some Bounty paper towels (preferably soaked in cleaning solution) on Anish Kapoor‘s Sky Mirror?
Nearing this Friday’s announced end of its five-week display at New York’s Rockefeller Center, its “polished stainless steel” urgently needs polishing: Its cloudiness is not just a reflection of the sky, and it also bears numerous vertical stains that seem to be issuing from the seams between its steel segments.
This no longer clear surface negates the publicity description from the Public Art Fund, which calls the piece a “non-object”—“a sculpture that, despite its monumentality, suggests a window or void and often seems to vanish into its surroundings.”
Also worse for wear is another Public Art Fund project still up yesterday at the southeast entrance to Central Park, two days past its announced closing date: Sarah Sze‘s Corner Plot (below).

Described in the publicity as “in pristine condition,” it has now suffered some deterioration of its bricks. What’s worse, the substantial condensation now obscuring its windows all but obliterates the view of Sze’s intricate constructions inside.
It’s amazing how many jaded New Yorkers pass this odd fragment of an apparently sunken apartment building without giving it a single glance. Curious children, however, invariably peer into the windows and climb the walls.
