Public Sculpture.


I don't think I would want this in my own garden, but what an amazing piece of work.

I have no idea who it's by, or even where it is. But I do have admiration for its maker. Quite extraordinary.

A truck with Gothic windows. Fantastic.

New World said...

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.

Cro Magnon said...

Amazing work.

Cro Magnon said...

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.

Cro Magnon said...

Thank you; you got him!

New World said...

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.

Cro Magnon said...

I could be very tempted; there's some wonderful work.

Lou said...

I only remember the polemic concerning the tatooed pigs .I found it horrible, the poor animals.

JayCee said...

Extraordinary indeed.
Is it for sale do you think? Would just fit in the back garden.

River said...

Wow, that's a lot pf cogs and rivets.

Cro Magnon said...

Not to be recommended. Humans ask for them; Pigs don't.

Cro Magnon said...

You'd have to move the Anthony Caro to somewhere else!

Cro Magnon said...

I bet he enlisted some help.

Yorkshire Pudding said...

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."

Debby said...

That is amazing! But no, not for my yard, thank you.

New World said...

Yes we know, you're a bit late.

Cro Magnon said...

I can appreciate the work, but not for my home either.

Susan said...

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.

Cro Magnon said...

YP (above) says it's made with laser cutting, which makes sense.

The Weaver of Grass said...

I find it inteeresting but as you say - not in my backyard.

Cro Magnon said...

Clever, but not overly attractive.

Pipistrello said...

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?
