Ce monolithe pourrait peut-être être un hommage fait par un autre artiste à l'artiste minimaliste John McCracken, décédé le 8 avril 2011. Cracken... Kraken... il y a un drôle de lien ici dans le nom de l'artiste en question... Voici des sculpture de John McCracken dans un musée, il était obsédé par les monolithes:

''Alongside jokes about 2001: A Space Odyssey, some news outlets have suggested specific avant-garde artists. The Art Newspaper compares the monolith to the “plank” sculptures of minimalist artist John McCracken, who died in 2011. His gallerist David Zwirner told The New York Times that “I believe this is definitely by John.” A Zwirner spokesperson offered a conflicting opinion to The Guardian, though, saying it was probably “a work by a fellow artist paying homage to McCracken.” And if Slane’s timeline is correct, the monolith was placed years after McCracken’s death.''
