I've always thought large scale community sculpture/installation was a good investment. However, I think that lesser known artists would be a better investment for both the public who will interact with the art and up and coming "Newbies". I think public sculpture/architecture is, unfortunately, is purchased by people who havn't a clue as to the "value" they're getting for their "art dollar''
