Gregg and I saw the sculpture you are referring to and once we realized the sculpture was not a real person, we sat back and watched other people's reaction to it. It was amazing. The best part about his work is that the people look "real". Barbara • 6/29/06; 10:47:55 AM # Your discussion of public art and george Segal in particluar got me

may have seen his sculpture of a security guard. The first time I saw
