I searched the forum for this topic and found there were single threads that showed up in the search. I thought it might be useful to find them in one thread.
Art in any form brings emotions, contemplation and memories. Outdoor art I am fond of, cause I don't have to dust it in my house. :)

What are some that you have found?

Glad you like it. I just got it from my duck duck search, but I went into it further for you... came from an Indian site.

"People walk past the giant sculpture etitled 'Popped up', on the banks of the Danube River on November 12, 2014 in Ulm, Germany. The giant was made by Ervin Herve-Loranth for the Art Market Budapest 2014 - an international contemporary art fair. The sculpture has been installed to commemorate the 1989 revolution and will be in place until the end of November, at Metzgerturm (butcher tower). (Image: Getty Images)"

Thank you.
It was put up without permission as a protest of the bombs crashing into the buildings.
Ah! 🙁 Good job those people.

The Headington Shark (proper name Untitled 1986) is a rooftop sculpture located at 2 New High Street, Headington, Oxford, England, depicting a large shark embedded head-first in the roof of a house. It was protest art, put up without permission, to be symbolic of bombs crashing into buildings.

Apennine Colossus - Jean de Boulogne 1580 - Vaglia Italy - fell into disrepair and most of the other sculptures on the estate are gone - at one time had water pipes for him to sweat, cry and water to come out of the fish he is squeezing. Several rooms were inside and also had smoke to come out his nose.
