Annals of Chinese Public Art - May 2005
Why do I do it? What strange, dark force compels me to document the taste-shattering horror of Chinese public art?
A
possible explanation can be found in this
blog posting. Meanwhile, below are the latest additions to the
collection, from May 2005. These magificent specimens were photographed
in Huirou, north of Beijing, at Mutianyu, on the Fourth Ring Road and,
in one case, at Houhai. Click on the thumbnails for larger images.
