Prague, Czechia
Statue of King Wenceslas Riding an Upside-Down Dead Horse
A mocking tribute to the past and modern leadership of Prague.
(more photos)
Hanging from the ceiling of the Art Nouveau Lucerna Palace in Prague, an ancient king rides triumphantly astride… an upside-down, apparently dead horse.
Created by Prague-born artist David Černý, whose claim to fame was the painting a Soviet tank pink as a memorial to the Velvet Revolution, he’s also known for his unsettling large scale installation piece of babies crawling their way up the Prague television tower, among other works of modern surrealism.
The sculpture is a mocking reference to the more famous equestrian statue of King (and later, Saint) Wenceslas that sits in Wenceslas Square, and possibly a mocking nod to Czech president Vaclav Klaus, although the artist will not say what his intentions were.

Brilliant, thanx MojoDave.
I loved his double decker bus statue in London...very odd man...
@thinktwice That's putting it mildly! 
@MojoDave I like surrealism but I often wonder how anyone would even conceive of such images without being a bit disturbed in the head...ha ha...the mad artist, I guess, is a real thing....
Thanks for looking that up for us. Interesting. The art is well done but rather creepy!
@EyesThatSmile I'll post a bit more of his art, it's crazy!
thanks for the short explanation - weirdly wired artist, but the best always are.
@ShadowAmicus Here's more of his art! Definitely weird! "More art by David Černý
(cue The Twilight Zone music!)
To see more go to Google images and ..."
@MojoDave I so like these. Is the ladder to the arse a real entrance to the building - that would be spectacular
@MojoDave I now see an escalator taking a stream of people to a moving walkway through the arse cheeks and into a gallery entrance
It relates to the unaired episode of My Little Pony.
