The art collector and philanthropist Agnes Gund took to The Huffington Post yesterday to decry plans to destroy Green Acres, a terraced landscape sculpture by Athena Tacha, outside the Department of Environmental Protection Agency in Trenton, New Jersey.

She cites the recent decision by the city of Indianapolis not to build a public statue by Fred Wilson depicting a freed slave, saying she disagreed with that decision, but was glad that it was made by the public. According to her, there has been no public debate over Green Acres.
