It was £21 last time I went a few years ago. It is the place to see all the best comtemporary art, all the dealers and commercial galleries with a stand. Visitors without cheque books are not encouraged.
I rather think that the lorry is by Belgian neo-conceptual artist Wim Delvoye: "Belgian artist Wim Delvoye takes laser-cutting to a new scale with his sculptures of construction vehicles highly detailed in ornate patterns referencing the industrial revolution, gothic cathedrals, Victorian architecture and to a degree steampunk culture."
Wow! I've seen one of his works before - the Cement Truck at the now-defunct MONA in Tasmania. It's amazingly beautiful for all its rustiness and unexpectedness. Your tip truck must be galvanised steel?

A truck with Gothic windows. Fantastic.
It looks like it is standing in exactly the same place as Sarah Lucas's truck a few years ago. Is it at Frieze in Regents Park?
Brilliant. I can find similar work by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye.
Amazing work.
It looks as if it should have been at Frieze, but I can see no mention of it. What I did find, however, is that the entry price is a staggering £46.
Thank you; you got him!

I could be very tempted; there's some wonderful work.
I only remember the polemic concerning the tatooed pigs .I found it horrible, the poor animals.
Extraordinary indeed.
Is it for sale do you think? Would just fit in the back garden.
Wow, that's a lot pf cogs and rivets.
Not to be recommended. Humans ask for them; Pigs don't.
You'd have to move the Anthony Caro to somewhere else!
I bet he enlisted some help.

That is amazing! But no, not for my yard, thank you.
Yes we know, you're a bit late.
I can appreciate the work, but not for my home either.
Impressive work. The structure size and steel detail is unlike anything I've ever seen. If he comes to NYC it would be great to see more of WD's work.
YP (above) says it's made with laser cutting, which makes sense.
I find it inteeresting but as you say - not in my backyard.
Clever, but not overly attractive.
