It’s easy to miss how subversive Tom Otterness’s cute bronze figures in the NYC subway really are. . 

Subversive???? Not exactly the word I’d use for the kind of guy who sells fugly playground toys to the likes of Larry Silverstein for $1.2 million apiece. As Otterness himself told the NYT, “You’d be surprised at the number of real-estate guys who have collected The Marriage of Real Estate and Money.” This isn’t subversive, it’s pandering.
