Schutte's Hotel Model

This is the new "sculpture" that will replace Marc Quinn's Alison Lapper Pregnant on Trafalgar Square's spare plinth on 7 November: Thomas Schutte's abstract Model for a Hotel (2007). Schutte's pigeon perch is made of layers of coloured "Perspex glass", whatever that is, and is supposed to reflect sunlight like a jewel. To be honest, I think the plinth looks more attractive. Is this boring abstract the best we could find to fill the gap?
