BUT I can't help but appreciate the artistry that's gone into this. If any advice to this designer, run far far away from the design field and go practice sculpture for arts sake-- he'd be incredible.

It takes too much attention, where the problem was how to minimize the impact. Design is a system and this gate (and fence) has nothing to do with the background, which is the building behind.

The gate/fence looks extremely out of place, especially considering the beautiful cobblestone street on which 40 Bond resides. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's just my opinion.
