Even if you’re not into art or don’t see yourself displaying any statue or sculpture out front where you live…what sculpture might it be?

I know where there is a liquid cooled 1918 Continental 4 cyl. gasoline donkey engine with clutch type PTO. It has cast iron cylinders with aluminum block. Not doubt any that were available during WWII were scrapped for the aluminum.
A steel company was recently dismantled in my neighborhood. They had a 12-foot camshaft upright on display for years and last week I noticed it’s gone. That would be neat having a souvenir of the local industry.
If I could have anything I want? Probably this one.
I’d need a bigger lawn, though.
Cool ideas so far jellies!
Anything by Brancusi, or one of Picasso’s sculptures, out front where I would see it coming home would please me no end.
I like the bronze sculptures being displayed in many places now. Where I live they have bronze cattle coming to cross the road at the entrance of a town square with a western theme. In other parks and shopping areas I’ve seen bronze statues of children at play, and dogs and cats.
I think I’d like a statue of a woman on a bench in bronze. Either looking at the sky with a look on her face if enjoying the warmth of the sun, or maybe with her head down reading a book. Something where she looked calm and doing something for herself.
I really love the statues with the children, but since I don’t have children it probably isn’t something I would put permanently in my lawn.
I couldn’t get a link to work, but if you want to see the cattle google Brownwood paddock The Villages bronze cattle photos, something like that.
A majestic, bronze, life size model of myself standing proud with hands on hips.
The plinth will have WE HAVE STAFF FOR THAT emblazoned upon it…naturally.
Actually, that is such a great idea I should have one commissioned immediately.
I’ve always thought these were intriguing
Hitler, Drumpf, and Kim in a salacious threeway.
I’ll have the huge Wall Street bull.
The home owner’s association would sue me to get it removed. HA!
@mazingerz88 It has been there since 1973, two years ago it was “conserved” to repair and paint it.
^^ Oh good. So they put it in storage when it’s not out. There were times in the past I’ve walked past and can’t recall seeing it. Would love to see a triceratops on a front lawn also.
It’s still in the courtyard by the old Times Newspaper, the “conserve” was to repair rust, damage and repainting it. I think it weights 40 tons.
My kids 40 years ago would run around underneath it.
It is on the Burr Mall between Main St & Prospect St.
A 12-inch tall, life-size statue of Mike Hawk. ;-)
I feel I would have a subtle sculpture. That of a delicate rose being held in an equally delicate hand, protruding from a patch of well kept flowers. I feel it has a certain amount of simplicity to it that I just adore.
I like all the big pieces at Storm King but I’d also love @zenvelo‘s Brancusis and Picassos ..
A dirt sculpture of Trump’s head. I would enjoy watching it accumulate bird droppings and then succumb to the forces of nature.
