I really think in a couple of years time this statue is going to be a firm favourite partly because of the bonding exercise everyone's has of moaning about it.

The PP/VA pics of it are quite powerful. https://www.standingforwomen.com/product-page/mary-wollstonecraft-postcards

I think likely the statue works better irl than in the official photos. See this guy's pics. https://twitter.com/wfawzi/status/1326030974229094401?s=19

It looks like a doll mounted on a foil-wrapped dead tree. The fundraisers should have known what would happen. Hambling's A Conversation with Oscar Wilde turns him into a creature made of cigarette smoke and a melted Curly Wurly. I love Hambling's paintings but many of her sculptures are dreadful shite.

That is an atrocious piece of "art" and looks completely out of place in that park.
