Kennedy Center will remove outdoor 'Blue' sculpture

Kennedy Center Will Remove Outdoor ‘Blue’ Sculpture www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/a... Degenerate Art Redux

Nothing Trump has done was necessary. The tariffs weren’t necessary. The Iran WAR wasn’t necessary. Demolishing the East Wing of the White House wasn’t necessary. Painting the Reflecting Pool w/blue paint wasn’t necessary. Destroying Jackie’s 🌹 garden & messing w/the Kennedy Center wasn’t necessary.

Do we need to wonder what will replace this sculpture? If Kalshi has predictions on this I would bet on a gold Trump statue. What do you think? NYTimes gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/a...

Does Trump hate it because it doesn’t look like an anglicized centurion or just because it’s called “Blue?”

Of course Joel Shapiro's iconic sculpture "Blue” must be removed to make way for “President Donald J. Trump Plaza!” I can only imagine the gaudy art which will replace it! 🙄

Calling it now: it’s gonna be replaced by a 20 foot statue of Trump www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/a...

The sculpture is a joyful person, and literally titled “Blue”. That’s all the explanation anyone should need for why Trump wants it gone. Another way to own the libs. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/a...

Determined to remake Kennedy Center, Trump 2.0 will remove sculpture erected there during Trump 1.0

Someone tell me how removal of an iconic piece of art outside the Kennedy Center will improve financial performance of the Center. lardass' pettiness knows no bounds. 😡😡😡 www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/a...

Why is the 2nd wife of the President’s former caddy deciding how to dispose of our treasure? She has no experience in the arts.

The vulgarian strikes again. Cutting down, censoring, removing, destroying. Anyone checked if he’s selling off “entartete Kunst” in Switzerland while putting up gilded trump shit?

@normeisen.bsky.social Norm I’ve read that Trump is having the blue statue moved out of Kennedy Center today. I thought you should know if you have not heard. Thank you for everything you do b

“Josef Palermo, who was laid off in March as the curator…at the Kennedy Center, wrote in The Atlantic that he had been instructed to remove works from the center’s permanent art collection…” Where did the money from art sales go? Who’s buying up the Art? Will “Blue” be replaced by a gold idol?

The towering artwork was targeted for elimination after President Trump’s takeover of the center last year. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/a...
