The inflatable sculpture of a Christmas tree which caused outrage in Paris for its resemblance to a sex toy is removed after being vandalized.
It’s supposed to be a tree but many think including its creator, the artist Paul McCarthy, a giant anal sex toy.
It was put up on the city’s ritzy Place Vendome on Thursday next to a column topped by a statue of Napoleon, however on Saturday night the wires holding the sculpture in place were severed by vandals.
Culture Minister Fleur Pellerin blasted the vandalism, calling it “a serious attack on the principle of artistic freedom.”
The sculpture was deflated and folded up on Saturday.
