(17 Oct 2014) ART INSTALLATION RAISES EYEBROWS IN PARIS
A giant green art installation in Paris' Vendome square is attracting perhaps more attention than its American artist Paul McCarthy bargained for.
His creation is called "Tree," and vaguely resembles an inflatable Christmas tree.
However, the artist admitted it also looks like something else.
McCarthy told French newspaper Le Monde that it was somewhat inspired by an anal plug sex toy - but insisted it was a bit of a "joke" and meant as an "abstraction."
Conservative French critics are decrying the sculpture on social media.
Le Monde reported that McCarthy was hit in the face by a man who said the sculpture had no place on the square, but was not injured.
The sculpture is part of the FIAC contemporary art exhibition in the French capital.
FIAC wouldn't comment about the sculpture Friday and McCarthy couldn't be reached.
