There was much discussion going on before he arrived... Basically the people responsible for outdoors public art wanted a really big sculpture in this particular spot, as a kind of landmark. And then there was someone willing to donate the money for it - but only if the artist was Jim Dine. And Jim Dine happened to be in a Pinocchio period. So Pinocchio it was. And NOW of course there IS a connection, based on the fact that we have the scultpure - haha...
