This controversial piece of art was created by Italy's most famous living artist, Maurizio Cattelan. The sculpture – officially titled L.O.V.E. but popularly known as The Middle Finger – has the shape of a huge hand, beautifully sculpted from Carrara marble – the same material used by Michelangelo and Bernini. But its middle finger is extended skywards in a very un-Renaissance-like gesture of contempt. (Link)

De Vaartkapoen by Tom Franzen, outside the Communauté Française in Molenbeek, is an irreverent tribute to the anarchaic side of the Bruxeloise. The title is a slang term for people born in Molenbeek; “de vaart” means “the canal” and “kapoen” means cheeky. (Link)
A 100-foot-tall giant emerges from the earth in this famous D.C. cast-aluminum sculpture. An arm reaches 17 feet into the air, while the mouth is permanently fixed in a silent cry. The Awakening was created by J. Seward Johnson, Jr., for the 1980 International Sculpture Exhibition and Conference. For 27 years, DC residents photographed, enjoyed and clambered over the gigantic arms, legs and face. To the dismay of many locals, in 2008, the popular sculpture was purchased and moved to on the sandy beach at National Harbor, a new tourist and entertainment destination on the Maryland side of the Potomac River.
