Dogs?
I was hoping there may have been a deeper meaning than just "dogs" but...maybe it is just a simple case of WYSIWYG.
Dogs?
That's a shame, hopefully it might be reinstated after a proper consultation etc.
That's a good point, it's actually a very good sculpture. It could so easily have been well meaning but cringy, as so much worthy art tends to be, but this is strong and accomplished and borne of something important.My hope is they actually commission Marc Quinn to do a proper solid bronze one, my suspicion is this was only ever designed to be a quick and temporary installation and wouldn’t survive the weather etc for long.
I certainly hope the existing one is placed on public display (in a museum, art gallery or whatever) somewhere as it is a truly wonderful statue that captures a significant moment in history so perfectly. Quinn really is a superb sculptor IMHO. I’ve seen a lot of his work up close (I went to the PV for the Tate Liverpool exhibition best part of 20 years ago). He captures far more than form, as all good art should do.
Iff Bristol doesn't want it, we'll have it in that London.
vuk, what is that Canadian 'piece' supposed to celebrate/represent?
bourgeois values?
I can’t tell what the dogs are being sick on!
