Wouldn’t you rather see the “art” above than have adequate security? After all, security can only save lives, this guy’s art can.. look like old blocks.
No Democrat better dare try to claim that Benghazi was due to “budget cuts” by Republicans after this, which claim was already refuted by State Department’s Charlene Lamb anyway.
The U.S. Department of State will spend $2.5 million next year on art to decorate its embassies, it was revealed Tuesday. The agency’s 2013 spending included $1 million for a single granite sculpture set to adorn the new American Embassy in London.
It’s part of the State Department’s ‘Art In Embassies’ program, which has 16 government employees curating art exhibits at diplomatic stations all over the world.
The State Department writes that the program ‘provides exhibitions to represent American art abroad.’ The $1 million art award will go to Sean Scully, an Irish-born artist who emigrated to the U.S. at age 30, and whose work resembles stacked piles of paving stones..
