Maggi Hamblings “Scallops” / paint

(This public sculpture - created on commission as a tribute to English composer Benjamin Britten - has been vandalized 13 times since being installed on a beach in Aldeburgh, England in 2003. The subject of much debate amongst locals (numerous petitions have been made to have the sculpture removed), the work was most recently defaced in 2011, when someone painted it with phrases like “ITS JUST AN OLD TIN CAN,” “JUNK,” and “MOVE IT.”)
