The Public Art Fund and the City of New York, along with such sponsors as Time Warner, Bloombeg LP, and the Related Companies, are funding a project that would pay homage to Christopher Columbus. The Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi has chosen to design a "room" to be built around the Columbus statue in midtown Manhattan's Columbus Circle. He believes his choice of this statue is appropriate because, in his words, "Columbus discovered America." The project is expected to attract thousands of visitors. But will those visitors understand the legacy of the man being celebrated?
