did we actually pay money over for this?

blog about it here
http://www.caricatures-ireland.com/blog/antony-gormleys-sculpture-for-dublin/
but no info to answer my question... its a joke the amount of dopes that get onto committees to decide crap art like this...

also the **** art that is along our motorways is a bit of a waste of money too...

ps i love art..good art...

What else are people supposed to piss up against when they're drunk?

I believe the spire already serves that function.

I knew that After Hours would eventually give me an opportunity to combine the phrases "yore ma" and "blast her with.."

Typical jackeen!
You should try living with this piece of monumental, slack-jawed awfulness-

Nothing gets the synapses firing quite like a very accurate drawing of a bowl of fruit.

A lot of these sculptures are nice enough in they're own right but just placed in the completely wrong area by town councils.

I quite like the whole 'world within a world' thing. Looks good.

€132k on this heap of ****e
The "marker tree" at kingswood on the N7

http://www.southdublin.ie/artsworks/viewimages.aspx?artworkid=47

It's was thrown up v quickly at the end of 2011, I suspect it was to spend unused budget money so that they didn't get a lower budget in 2012

A dedicated shrine to the gladiators

And I raise you the faces on the railings on the Royal hospital... they look good but cost a million plus constant maintenance to remove graffiti.
