The Subtle Stone Eater is a whimsical pause at Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez Street: a bald clown lifts a polished obsidian stone toward his mouth and holds out his other hand. Move close enough to find the small faces worked into the folds of his trousers. Jonás Gutiérrez's green-blue bronze rewards detail hunting more than a distant view, and its unusual character gives children a concrete shape to inspect.
