It shouldn't cost that much.

The artist would probably find that pretty hilarious. Artists don't think the same way as others, they tend to be perfectionistic and are happy to burn months of work, as a matter of course. Especially in this case, having made $$$ off of working for the establishment, it probably felt like redemption.

It's super unpopular with us southern white folk to remove them, especially the Lee statue in Lee square
Edit: there will probably be ramifications such as loss of future contracts
