Parisians Destroy Artwork That Looks Like Sex Toy

[icyfroth]

Non, non, non! Parisian vandals destroy 24ft art sculpture that resembled a 'giant sex toy' after claims it 'humiliated' the city (and if you're wondering, it's supposed to be a tree) 

Vandals today destroyed an art sculpture in central Paris ‘because it looked like a giant sex toy’.

Looming above the city's Place Vendome, the 24ft tall piece, created by American artist Paul McCarthy, was meant to look like a green inflatable Christmas tree.

But the artwork, simple entitled 'Tree', raised eyebrows in the French capital because of its uncanny resemblance to a certain type of sex toy.

Sounds like something Clover Moore would approve of...

To me it just looked like an odd looking chess piece.  A pawn maybe 😄

That's one way to plug the City of Love.

Me too, some people see what they want to see I suppose and then there are those that just don't like art at all.

It's for a contemporary Art Fair so a bit of contemporary art is to be expected.  

I saw pics recently of a giant wooden peg scultpure in a park and now I want one in our park  :D.

Pegs are useful. So called artists with limited scope can present them as works of arts, I suppose.

Parisians obviously didn't appreciate it.

It looks like something you'd put on top of a fence post = like a picket fence. I was watching something the other night on TV and they went to a **bleep** park in Korea. Apparently, it is a very popular park.....
