Anish Kapoor, who is visiting Australia soon, says he "hates" public sculpture. The British-born Indian sculptor has strong opinions on whatconstitutes a good sculpture. It cannot, for example, be "just a fat turd on the lawn.""turd"- generally, a log-shaped piece of shit. they are also found in coil-shape, mushroom-cloud shape, and even loch ness monster shape.Ja se slazem sa Ron Robertson-Swannom, i mislim da nema boljeg primjera za skulpturu koja izgleda kao debelo govno na travnjaku od

one koju je Anish Kapoor napravio u Londonu za svog bogatog zemljaka, multimilijardera Mittala. Tu nakazu pod hitno treba minirat.BTW, ova Hoffova skulptura "Sacrifice", prikazana na prvoj slici u clanku, meni izgleda prilicno pornografski. A vama?

Public sculpture: the good, the bad - and the downright uglySteve Dow, Andrew TaylorThe Sydney Morning Herald, 8 December 2012

SHOULD public sculpture be a monument to patriotism, to good artistic taste, or humbly aim to keep the public happy? The famed Indian-born

British sculptor Anish Kapoor, who is visiting Sydney soon, says he ''hates'' public sculpture.

orks by British sculptor Henry Moore, for example, while ''very, very good'', have come ''to be almost the turd on the lawn outside your iconicpublic building'', says Kapoor, whose exhibition at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art opens on December 20.

''If you're going to make a public object you need to engage public space,'' Kapoor says. ''It cannot just be an emblem on the lawn. It cannot beust a fat turd on the lawn.''

But veteran Sydney sculptor Ron Robertson-Swann, whose own abstract minimalist sculpture Vaultwas attacked as the ''yellow peril'' whenplaced in Melbourne's City Square in 1980 and hastily moved the following year, laughs at what he calls Kapoor's ''mea culpa''.

Robertson-Swann, now the head of sculpture at Sydney's National Art School, points to Kapoor's helter-skelter sculpture Orbitfor the LondonOlympics opening ceremony, ''that red steel thing with flourishes and an elevator and a restaurant inside it - that was appalling'', he said.

''I would have thought that qualified as an enormous turd on the lawn.''

Robertson-Swann insists Melbourne has more good outdoor sculpture, which he defines primarily as having artistic merit as well as inviting publicinteraction, than Sydney does: ''Sydney looks like it's so uptight, so terrified to make a taste mistake.''

He nominates the late Rayner Hoff's work on the Anzac War Memorial in Hyde Park, completed in 1934 - the figures on the exterior, the group inhe interior, and the bronze reliefs - as Sydney's most moving example of publicly visible sculpture. ''Sculpture in Sydney seems to have gone intohe doldrums after that.''

Robertson-Swann said Kapoor and other sculptors are too critical of ''plonk'' art - sculpture dropped into a landscape that's not integrated with theenvironment - but ''that's an exaggerated thing of one group of artists challenging another''.

Nonetheless Bert Flugelman's Pyramid Tower- ''the silver shish kebab'' - gained a ''presence that still looks good'' when it was moved from MartinPlace to the street behind Australia Square.

Robertson-Swann dislikes the term ''public'' art: ''All art is public unless the artists say it's private, then it's their secret. The expectations whenpeople keep saying 'public art' is that it is meant to do something for the public. The only thing that justifies a work of art in my view is if it is anygood or not.''

Ken Unsworth's infamous Stones Against the Skyat Kings Cross - colloquially known as ''poo on sticks''- is ''the only one that really justifies itsnickname'', Robertson-Swann says.

''Ken's done some very good sculptures but that one is absolutely appalling. I don't know why he doesn't get it taken down, because it's badlymade, badly thought out and badly executed.''

Robertson-Swann said the best examples of recent sculpture were those donated to the public by private foundations - Transfield Holdings aroundalsh Bay and the Balnaves Foundation around the Botanic Gardens - and the worst, such as the Sydney Sculpture Walk erected for the Sydney

Olympics from the Domain around Mrs Macquarie's Chair, by governments and committees: ''If it's in the hands of arts bureaucrats, it's dead.''
