| Controversy raises profile of little-known Art Commission, which wants to place more art in neighborhoods (1687 words) |
 | In 1911, the commission was established to approve the design of any building, bridge or structure on city property and any artwork intended for a public space. |
| Some Art Commission members have expressed interest in attending, to deny what they sense other city government officials believe: that the commission clandestinely approved a policy that few people noticed until it hit the newspapers, even though a copy of it had been sent to all city departments. |
| Though members of the Gene Kelly statue committee said maintenance of the land was the reason for the sale and denied that the Art Commission was a factor, commissioners thought the decision might have been prompted by fear of another Di Suvero debacle or a rejection of the statue by the commission. |
