I have trouble believing that particular piece of art is worth 1% of the building cost.

Sure it is. Just match the artist's payment to 1% of building cost.

I expect the metal destinations screen in the pass-through was much more expensive and ate up far more of the budget. The snowmen strike me as a 'what to do with the leftover cash' project.

I've been floored by the costs of public art installations across the country too many times. The building has a lot of square footage but, it's not a high budget building. How much is 1%?

For what it’s worth, my children thought the snow people art was absolutely delightful.

Are the snow people temporary? Seasonal or all year?

An important point that is often lost on contemporary art promoters.

Yep, every time I leave my apartment on the weekend, there's always people outside taking pictures with the snowmen.
