Sculpture by the Sea

The image of John Lennon in my previous post is a good example of traditional relief sculpture still being produced. But what of so-called "contemporary" sculpture? According to Sculpture by the Sea 2010 on Tamarama Beach, Sydney, it's big, brash, mechanistic, pointless and ridiculous. Tomas Misura's toothpaste tube Splash (2010) hits the mark. Click the title link for a Telegraph slide show of exhibits. And the winner? Danish artist Keld Moseholm, who grabbed the prize of $60,000 Aussie dollars. He's 75 years old. Well done, that silver surfer!
