Multi-million dollar Lafayette Square eye sculpture vandalized: “Call it another black eye for New Orleans. On the night of July 15, a thief pried the bronze corneas from that set of giant disembodied eyeballs that have stood sentinel on the Camp Street side of Lafayette Square since February 2007 …  (Louise Bourgeois’) big shining eyes — titled “Eye Benches IV” — were a welcome sight in Lafayette Square, where passersby could sit for a spell on the built-in benches at the back of the eyeballs. Bourgeois was 95 when her the sculpture was lent to New Orleans. She was 98 when she died in May.” (nola.com)
