London Accepts Gift Horse

In a wry homage to the "starving artist," a bronze statue of a skeletal horse was unveiled this week in Trafalgar Square, London. But the bare bones statue is fitted out with a live ticker feed from the London Stock Exchange causing one to wonder whether observers are actually stopping to admire the work or to check their investments The man behind the artwork, titled Gift Horse, is 78-year old, German-American sculptor Hans Haacke. Haacke was born in Cologne, Germany.
