Blue Mustang by Luis Jimenez
A dare after a night out drinking with friends turned into media frenzy for Rachel Hultin a Denver real estate developer. Hultin launched a Facebook Page DIA’s Heainous Blue Mustang Has Got To Go in response to the Luis Jiménez sculpture “Blue Mustang” that greets visitors at Denver International Airport. The site has 10,406 followers. Hultin has been featured in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and on CNN.com. A supporting Facebook page Support the Bad Ass DIA Mustang has only garnered 133 supporters.
However, since launching her campaign Hultin has changed her mind about having “Blue Mustang” removed. She now thinks that “pamphlets at the airport, and maybe education courses for airport bus drivers, could lead viewers into a deeper understanding of the horse and the artist,” she said to the New York Times.
