A good answer for people who don't appreciate art, but you and I know it misses the point. Anyone who stops to think knows that the artist wasn't trying to rely on an explanatory label added by a gallery or a web site, they wanted

A point I have been trying to get across. There are too many examples to list of places with differing names. But renaming due to politics often has a history of being temporary.
