Matcho Statue

Sculpture has always been an art form I have never been able to grasp. I understand the artist sculpting to make a piece of art, but sometimes it doesn't really make sense to me - which I guess goes with most art forms.
Take Tracy Emin's 'My Bed' piece. It was so controversial but to me this was art as we were seeing a slice of reality represented to an audience. She had created a story and a feeling through objects, which I feel is what art is all about. A lot said it was something they see everyday in their own homes and so it wasn't art. But surely we have to take into consideration what peoples perceptions of art are? This only causes controversy when opinions conflict, which in return gains interest.

This image was quite difficult to take as I wanted to get nothing other then the sculpture and not to over complicate the shot. I have adjusted the colours as it was an over cast day giving quite a bland sky.

So where was this shot taken?
