Sculpture's wooden mount on display instead of sculpture
The laughing head sculpture that David Hensel created for installation at the UK's Royal Academy of Arts has been removed was never installed by a judging panel who preferred the wooden support mount that supported the head. From the BBC News:
Link (Thanks, Mike Love!)In a statement, the Academy said Mr Hensel's work, One Day Closer To Paradise, was submitted as two separate pieces.
"Given their separate submission, the two parts were judged independently.
"It is accepted that works may not be displayed in the way that the artist might have intended."
