Not sure if a statue qualifies as a sculpture. But close enough.

The clothes and other items are real of course, but the fiberglass bodies qualify as sculpture.

  9. This modern art piece. I don’t know the artist (yes, I googled), but I look forward to seeing this sculpture every year.
    btw, colonial, I disagree with your assessment :slight_smile:

Or maybe we just didn’t think it’s all that great a sculpture.

So you’re not paranoid about being considered a this or a that?

This is not a viable alternative. Really, it just is not.

  11. Saliera (salt cellar) by Benevenuto Cellini

Salt cellar is what it is rather than an actual name. I’ve never seen the original but I saw an exact replica of it in a museum and it’s an amazingly detailed work to be only 10 inches high.

  12. Memorial to a Marriage by Patricia Cronin

A sculpture I’ve seen in person at a doper meeting. A group of us took a tour of Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. The sculpture is of Cronin and her wife, Deborah Kass, and it’s intended as their gravestone. It’s unused because the couple are still alive.

If they ever divorce that’s going to be really awkward for the next spouse.

    Since I started this one, I’ll pass on a new category.

By consensus the greatest poet of a language:

  1. Pushkin, Russian

“But, honey, we can’t get divorced. We have a gravestone together.”
