I would think the Louvre Pyramid (https://www.architectmagazine.com/awards/aia-honor-awards/louvre-pyramid-the-folly-that-became-a-triumph_o) is a well-known example. Maybe also use “Cloud Gate” (https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/illinois/articles/brief-history-of-the-chicago-bean/) as an example?

Subject: I Need Names of Iconic Artworks That Had A Rocky Start
Hi PAN Pals,
City Council is reviewing our first major project that integrates public art into building construction drawings. Due to a lack of understanding about this type of work and unfortunate press, many community members are outraged against it, including our Historical Commission. (Many are for it as well)
Council is voting tonight and I would love to give them examples of some iconic public artworks that when first shown to the public people were up in arms about. I want to make the point that it is necessary to trust the vision of artists commissioned by the Public Art Advisory Board because if we just see with our eyes of today we will stay in today. Can anyone give me the names of a few that would be easily recognized by the general public?
Thanks so much!
Jo
