Greg Taylor “Down by the Lake with Liz and Phil” / saw, sledgehammers

(In 2010, a series of vandals attacked this controversial sculpture, which depicts Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip sitting together naked on a park bench. The work, installed by a lake near Canberra Australia’s High Court, had been on view for only a week before vandals repeatedly attacked the work, successfully beheading and severing legs from both sculptures and caving in Philip’s chest. The sculpture was permanently removed as a result.)
