art is just a means of laundering money.

[MV=PY]

LOL!

Someone should do a giant claymation with that thing.

[rottndog]

Is that a scrotum?

[caver]

Wow! And the Austrians are ashamed of Hitler?

[Bullish]

Ugliest drinking fountain I’ve ever seen.

[TLI]

Looks like a 4th grade art class Paper Mache project.

(The special ed class would have walked all over the 4th grade project)

🤣🤣🤣Hey, it’s better than anything Hunter did and probably didn’t go to make the world a more evil place.

[Paladin2]

It’s a beaut alright....

BTW....this was part of the Communist goals for America:

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings,” substituting shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “ Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Wasn’t one of the Current Communist Goals for America (1963) to make public art ugly and meaningless? I guess if it works here, it can work in Austria.

[Mark was here]

It is like some anti-homeless architecture designed to keep people away from the water. You can’t look down and see any coins dropped in the fountain.

[ClearCase_guy]

Someone with a sledgehammer could do hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of improvement to that.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

I would have done it for a mere $1,000,000 and I bet it would have been prettier. Man, that is one UGLY piece of “work”?

[metmom]

That is beyond hideous.

[metmom]

$2 million and the *artists* are laughing all the way to the bank at the fools who buy into their opinion of what *art* is.

That is not art. It’s a mockery.

[null and void]

Do you know the way to San Jose?

[nicollo]

And it looks like ass.

No -- it looks like hemorrhoids.

[NetAddicted]

I looked at fountain & assumed it was in San Fransicko. Does the fountain have a rating, and minors can’t view without parent?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Compare that hideous thing to how we celebrated water 90 years ago. This is the Plugas Water Temple in Redwood City, California built in 1934 to commemorate the completion of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct bringing water from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Francisco Bay Area. It is located at the aqueduct's terminus. The temple has a circle of fluted Corinthian columns surmounted by a large masonry ring bearing the inscription "I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people" [from Isaiah 43:20]. There is a reflecting pool lined with cypress trees.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

They should thank their lucky stars. They could have gotten a Giant Turd Statue like San Jose, California got.
