Its not just you :confused That is awful! Absolute waste of money, same as the millenium dome! just rubbish

[Metalattakk]

I'm sure it's meant to be arty, I reckon it's all symbollocks.

That made me laugh tho :lol:

quote 'Anish Kapoor: "I wanted the sensation of unstability" '

Yes you've achieved that, now lets talk about the sculpture :roll:

If they could nail some railway tracks to it, it might make a good thrill ride at Alton Towers.

I was thinking it was somewhere between Pisa and Alton Towers, but still tat.

[teenybash]

Not only tat, but Mr Kapoor also talks twaddle..........what a waste of money..............

[annemarie482]

bit lek someone tied the forth bridge in a knot! lol
prob take for ever to paint and rid the rust too lol

[ducati]

How Much? Jebus! :eek:

The question. What does Kapoor make art for? Answer £19.1 million

[The Drunken Duck]

Looks like he tried to design it properly, got bored and just made a huge squiggle to get down the pub early.

[bekisman]

So, designed by an Indian bloke born in Bombay (Mumbai) India, being built by a firm that was founded in Ireland by an Anglo-Danish engineer, part funded by a British-Indian steel tycoon and £3.1m provided by the London Development Agency. "whose purpose is to promote London's economy, with an emphasis on small and medium enterprises (SME's)"..

Right - still wondering if the piccy is the scaffolding for the main exhibit.?






Oops hasten to add am not being racist - just to show the International flavour

[Kenn]

A pile of "Tat," would most probably be more interesting!

[Invisible]

First bit of wind and that will tumble and fall crushing thousands.

[dafi]

I think we should wait and give it a fair chance!!

It will look a lot different when all that red scafolding comes down!!

[joxville]

quote 'Anish Kapoor: "I wanted the sensation of unstability" '

We should be applauding the man; not only has he given the UK (London) a sculpture we can be proud of, he's also introduced a new word into our language. :roll:

[John Little]

At the same time we close hospital wards and people wait for operations.
Sic transit gloria mundi - in a heap of metal spaghetti.

[upolian]

nice scaffolding[lol]

[bluechesse]

Is anyone else really struggling to see how it incorporates the 5 olympic rings? As fart as I can see, the only rings involved are the designer, and Boris for thinking its a good idea........

Truley gutted it's NOT a roller coaster though. I think we should start one of those online petitions, see if we cant convince Boris and Gordon to stick tracks and a few carts to it.

[bluechesse]

Had on, surely this is BBC's idea of an April Fools joke [lol]

[horseman]

Thanks for that metal,sheer artistry.

Reminds me of a Roger Dean album cover design from the 70's which makes it brilliant.

[Ricco]

Classic load of rubbish designed by some OK-yah architect with more influence than brains. You should see the 'statue' put in place in the centre of our village. Looks like another piece of twisted metal left over from an explosion.

Give the design brief to the guy who designed those buildings in Dubai - now, they are class!!

"As fart as I can see"

LOL- LMAO!!:Razz

That is the best comment on this 'art' yet.

Freudian Slip? Careful with that torch!!
