The artist has done a completely new memorial sculpture, and the city has just accepted it.

Was this in reaction to negative public reaction to the artist’s first effort?

Yes.

That’s a difficult thing for a real artist to do. Most wait for public opinion to change, even if it means dying before their work is recognized. There are countless examples in history. 
The hoi  poloi have no idea about art, never having educated themselves about it.

So what do the art world's cognescenti say about the Palm Springs statue?  'Cuz I'm too hoi polloi to see anything but an anus.
