Will Dog-Shooting Sculptor Lose His Million-Dollar Public Art Gig?
Lauri Apple · 11/16/11 06:09AMToday San Francisco's public art commission will decide whether to rescind the city's contracts with artist Tom Otterness, who in 1977 shot and killed a shelter dog "for art," then stopped shooting dogs and became a world-famous sculptor. Even though he only shot a poor, defenseless dog that one time, many San Franciscans don't want to fund his work.
