“I’m here outside the old Pfizer World headquarters in Manhattan, where they had commissioned this giant mural. It depicts the history of scientific innovation. It's this 20 foot high, 40 foot wide, metal brushed sort of painting and that you don't see very often, but you can peek through the window and see it from the street.”

“I don't know that anybody would have a moral or ethical obligation to this piece, in my opinion, because it's -- a corporate entity spent its own profit to make it. The artist got paid, it was on view, and it represented what that corporation wanted to aspire to be in some way.”
