Ugliness
Shape
This artwork has got nothing; no shape, color, tactility, structure. What a nerve to make such work!
Location
The sculpture stands at the entrance of a shopping center. I imagine that the type of person that likes to come in a mall, find such a work of art abhorrent. Maybe that's exactly the thing that enjoys the artist. It testifies of humor to place a work of art that has got nothing on a pedestal.
Meaning
The artwork is touching for its ugliness. Because of the lack of humor, eloquence or aesthetic value it’s hard to be positive about the artwork.

Adapted from a smaller work by the sculptor also titled William. The fluid, anonymous figure is intended to"speak of the ever-shifting present" and not of the past, and thus have the opposite qualities to most public sculpture.
