I honestly thought this was a spoof at first (even googled it to check!). It's given me a real laugh on a Monday morning.
It is beyond hideous - that's like a giant polo mint around her neck.
It's wrong, wrong, wrong, and even more wrong to be placed in such a beautiful building.

....What would Cholmondley_Warner think?.....

The eejits have banned him, I'm afraid.
I hope that he will return in another guise.

While he's away, let me say I thought it might have been a first try for Thatcher's tombstone.

Don't know if it's the worst but it certainly is a contender!

Coincidentally, there's a thread about Fritz Lang's Metropolis right now in the Lounge.

Me thinks C3PO and Queen Amidala were more than just friends

That is rather heinous. And thus, why "modern art" is a phrase renowned for its 50% accuracy.

How did CW get banned, and why?

They should have had Botero do the statue. That would have been very interesting.
