Aggravation de l'Espace is a public artwork by French sculptor Jean Boutellis (born 1937), located on a median on Central Parkway in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. This sculpture was surveyed in 1994 as part of the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture! program.[1]
Acquisition
Aggravation de l'Espace was donated to the city by the Robert A. Taft family.[2] The sculpture was originally installed in front of Cincinnati City Hall but after September 1984 it was moved to its current location.[1] According to Cincinnati Parks and Parkways the piece was moved to its new location because it "was so annoying to pedestrians."[3]
