David Černý

David Černý is a contreversial Czech sculptor. Some of his work includes Hitler and Stalin peeing on the Czech Republic. (Franz Kafka museum)

Another one of Černý's famous pieces is "Tower Babies," a series of crawling infants attached to Zizkov Television tower.

 David Černý expresses his  sense of humour through his art. I visited a museum of modern art in which Černý's sculpture was located in the back garden. A giant buttox in which one could crawl into. Inside the ass was a small tv which showed to Czech politicians feeding each other baby food to the sing Queen 'We are the Champions.' Now I ASS you,is this art? Who knows? What does this even mean? Perhaps the mystery is art itself!

Another controversial sculpture is of St. Wenceslas riding a horse upside down. This is located just off Wenceslas square in Lucerna palace. It's an ironic twist of the statue outside.

My favorite sculpture by David Cerny. It's of a man hanging from the sky. One could nearly walk by without noticing it at all.
