It depicts a harsh reality that should never be forgotten. However, to put it on display in Rockefeller Center, so soon after the anniversary of the attacks, seems somewhat cold and tasteless to me. Did he have the right to display it there? Absolutely. But in doing so, he shouldn't be surprised by the reaction(s) that people have had to it.
If anything, a private display might have been more appropriate - so if people wanted to see it, they could do so - and not be forced to see it as they passed it on their way to work.
