Tattoo

I noticed the ugly “Tattoo” statue on the Plaza is gone. When was it removed, and where did it go?

ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Dealt with in comment 3414A of the paper Suggestion Book: “An Article in the Oct. 26, 2006 Chronicle said that the 2003 work ‘Tatoo’ was designed by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa and was on loan from the Crown family of Chicago. ‘Paula Crown, Trinity ’80 and member of the Board of Trustees, is an advisor to the Nasher Museum of Art.’ The story further states that the statue ‘is expected to be on display through May 2007.'” It appears to have gone back to the owners, as there’s no evidence it’s on loan anywhere else at the moment.
