Artwork of the Day - 19 November 2004

Today's Quotation of the Day has inspired me to start a new, and hopefully ongoing, thread on art. Similiar in vein to my Quotation of the Day threads, I will post a single artwork for you to view. I shall restrict my own comments unless the post creates a thread. Some of the pieces I choose to post will be controversial (in a non-threatening art-world controversy kind of way) and some may not be considered real art at all by some.

However, as a longtime art lover, I think this repeating thread is a good idea and I know I shall enjoy searching for appropriate works to present. I only hope you enjoy viewing them too.

So, without further adieu, please find below the inaugural Artwork of the Day for Friday 19th of November, 2004. One of my favourite sculptures.
