Is this sculpture coming to Seattle appropriate for public art?

A 12-foot sculpture set to be installed in downtown Seattle will surely raise eyebrows of some passing by on the corner of Second Avenue and Madison Street.

Called “Adam,” the sculpture is an exact replica of a statue at a New York Mall, where people have touched the bronze statue so much a mark has been left in an obvious location.

Adam, which is just one in a series by artist Fernando Botero, is on its way from Miami.

Billionaire Seattle developer Martin Selig plans to have it installed by late March.
