Yes, I should clarify that I found the picture on the blog through GIS, not because I was reading up on conspiracies and the occult.

And seeing as my pic upthread now seems gone, I have to repost it because I remain utterly baffled by this statue (which is located about 5 mins down the road from me at the local town hall)

The chap in the sculpture looks like he's lying back enjoying a lazy bj. With snakes. And a plane. And a temple.
Wut.

more sculpture than statue.Nr Peterborough. Love the fact that most people think it's a pile of rubbish but kind of accept that it's there anyway.

I'm guessing that most of the artists responsible for these monstrosities didn't have enormously glittering careers. The one obvious exception is Zurab Tereteli who, despite being one of the least talented people to ever pick up a chisel, has somehow made astronomical amounts of money and landed the position of President of the Russian Academy of the Arts.
Tear Of Grief upthread (offered to Jersey City who refused it) is the classic but he's got so many in his locker. This was originally meant to be Columbus and offered to the US who, again, rejected it so it was rebranded as Peter The Great.

His Balzac was meant to be a gift to the people of Paris who, yet again, said thank you but no thank you. It's in a small town on the south coast now.

Due to his relationship with the Luzhkovs, Moscow's littered with his appalling art.

Last month, I drove through Council Bluffs and passed through this foreboding gauntlet of spires, which I can only assume is a tribute to the incarcerated men and women of Iowa who risk life and limb to remove garbage from the side of I-80.
