if you’re thirsty in Vienna, the fountain features a “drinking point with fresh water for passers-by.” No way in hell I'm taking a sip from that cesspool.
To: simpson96
Ugh....no.
My son and two nieces could have created a masterpiece in comparison for a fraction of the cost. They are all very talented artists and the fountain would have been inspiring.
Even if they didn’t go Greco-Roman and went Deco, it still would have been cool (think the Statler Fountain in Boston).
This is a hot mess. That is the nicest thing I can say about it.
Trevi, it is not. Heck, Fontana del Moro blows this away and water was the key theme in all the sculptures..

Five years from now everybody will love it.
Because it is so ugly.
What did you want, a giant closepin? A giant cherry on a giant spoon? A giant reflective bean?

How much did Michelin pay them to include Bibendum, the Michelin Man, in that atrocity?

Art is a reflection of the prevailing culture. Age of Enlightenment era Vienna prized proportion and beauty.
Today? Society is ugly, mean, misanthropic, and crapulent.

Looks like some 3rd graders made clay figures in art class.

Being Austria I am surprised they didn’t make a statue of Mohammed pissing on the Austrian flag.

98% of modern “artists” lack the skill to create something beautiful and uplifting in this sort of context.

Um, about that source of the spouting water in the upper-righthand corner of the photo...

"The piece, WirWasser (clumsily translated as “WeWater”)..."
It's already been done. Isn't this the "Wee-Water" fountain?

It keeps the skateboarders off. Won’t stop the BLM crowd from leveling it during the next riot, though.
