Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Richard Serra intended Tilted Arc to be confrontational and political.
2. He questioned political power by showing the arc dividing the Federal Plaza, as he believed Americans were divided from their government.
3. The arc cast a dark ominous shadow.
4. Serra considered Tilted Arc destroyed when it was removed from Federal Plaza. He considered the work site-specific, designed to have a dialogue with its site.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The art market depends on the patronage and investment of wealthy clients and on art galleries selling the art to those clients. The value of a given work depends on the artist's reputation, with monetary value being clearly established at auction houses.
