New sculpture in Woden. The Lemon Juicer?

well the residents of the new apartment towers to be built across the road will have a good view of it.

maybe it is symbolic tear for the car drivers when the car parking between Aviation House and ACT Govt Library disappears under said apartment blocks.

What price can you put on art like this?

Any you like, it’s worthless. (Apart from scrap value.)

I would not call the person who made this an artist though as it looks like it has been made by a designer. An artist creates from the soul, a designer creates from the head.

You seem to be confused about the concept of “art”, and the associated concept of someone being an “artist”. This is understandable.

Sounds tricky

I thought we weren’t wasting money on this rubbish any more?

A friend has suggested it should be called “The Tears of the Taxpayer”

What could possibly be a better name than that?

Zan said :

It has been said that for art to be good it needs to give the viewer a reaction

But provoking a reaction doesn’t implies that it’s good.

Price is different from value, and depends only on what someone is prepared to pay. I’ll bid $1.00, but I bet the local council paid more.
