Andrea Mantegna paintings
Arthur Hughes paintings
one has publicly claimed credit for installing the monolith. The structure reminded Rebecca Sargent of Machu Picchu, the ancient Incan ruins — similar vibe, she said.Her husband, Denny, was a little more cynical, humming the Space Odyssey theme as he moved forward to touch it. "I feel my intelligence increasing by the moment," he said.It wouldn't be the city's first experience with anonymous art, if that's what it is. There was the 700-pound steel ball and shackles placed on the right leg of the Seattle Art Museum's Hammering Man. And there was the 1,800-pound metal heart Jason Sprinkle — "Subculture Joe" — placed at Westlake Park in 1996, in protest of various issues. That stunt cleared out a swath of downtown when police decided the artwork might contain a bomb, which it didn't.
