  1. The inventor of The Bean is in The Infinite Art Tournament? Chicago bias aside, he gets my vote this round definitely against the sort of interesting portraits. In future rounds this will be a trickier decision. I mean, this guy is making art that are bonafide tourist attractions. But I'm not sure id say they were beautiful. And they certainly fail the "on my wall" test. But for this round, Kapoor.

  2. Googling some—I didn't know him—I say Kapoor.

  3. Kapoor all the way! And as a recent visitor to the Third City, let me just say that I couldn't have been more impressed with the Bean!

  4. The new guy goes on a ten-vote tear to take the contest 10-1, advancing to Round 2 with panache.

    Thanks for voting!
