Anonymous, Hell, No ! (2007)

In December 2007, the New Museum opened a new home on the historic Bowery in Manhattan. At the time, the Museum celebrated its new location with a special sculpture by the artist Ugo Rodinone that read "Hell, Yes!" The accompanying "Hell, No!"stenciled at the bottom of a traffic light on the corner of Prince Street and Bowery suggests an antagonism to the Museum's presence and what it means for the neighborhood. The New Museum sits next door to a homeless shelter - the Bowery Mission.
