Nothing to do with statues, but thought you might be interested in this if you haven't seen it:

Looks like the kid's drawing a picture of a vomit-stained wall.

Art is where you find it.

I don't know; photographers taking pictures of art and publishing them on widely-read websites without the permission of the copyright holder?

PC: ??? I took the pictures. I give myself permission to publish them.

Or are you suggesting that these sculptures are still covered by copyright? (Because that's really funny!)

PC: you might want to stick with family law.

I wasn't suggesting that the sculptures in this post were still covered by copyright, but was playing the odds that some of what you've photographed and posted in the last few days isn't yet in the public domain. I don't know enough about art to know if this is definitively the case for any of the works you've shot.

Bo: Thanks for the sentiment, but I dropped out of law school after the first year. My colleagues think I'm nuts, but I know I made the right decision.

How about artists folding sculptures, like Robert J. Lang’s incredible origami arthropods: Is Mother Nature an origami artist? There's a wonderful metaphorical resonance in the connection between Lang’s abstract, geometric folding patterns and the models of insects and other living things they generate, because it so beautifully symbolizes the way that Mother Nature uses intricate patterns of folding to structure the fundamental building blocks of life, proteins, which derive their properties as much from the way their molecules are folded as their actual chemical composition.

PC: the law is a noble profession, notwithstanding its practitioners' current focus upon money raking and its professors' current focus upon social engineering.

Most lawyers I know did not have the guts to drop out of law school, and are currently in a prison because of their ridulous lifestyles and hefty mortgages. Good for you dear man.

Quite right of course. On the other hand in some countries - France most obviously - you could be hauled up for invasion of privacy if you didn't obtain prior 'model release.'
