I chose to end the title with a question mark, as the once popular Burning Man sculpture was originally to be displayed on the plaza for only a year. The sculpture, built by artist Matt Schultz, had it’s premiere showing at the 2016 Burning Man. It was then installed on the downtown plaza in 2017 for all to see and admire. The year contract was then extended for another year. Since 2019, the sculpture has been in limbo. There was an attempt to have the city purchase the sculpture to make it a permanent landmark, but the nearly $5 million price tag was just too steep for the local government to justify spending taxpayer funds on. The price has since been reduced to a mere $1 million, but still no rich benefactors have come forward to help purchase it. The city and artist have since broken off negotiations and the sculpture remains on the plaza needing some necessary maintenance from years of abuse by vandals.
