Statues With Limitations

Looking like the wreckage of an Alien space craft, this Futuristic Sculpture is Art, but not as we know it. Commisioned by a forward thinking Burnley Council & designed by Tonkin Liu Architects

 

Oh my, what a pleasure this thread is! The Mustangs are exquisite and my very favorite!! Second fave is The Singing Tree, eerily beautiful but the sound frightens the beejeebees outta' me! The Corner fish is creatively "Carpe" Diem and my 3rd fave. I also liked Blanko's (living statue) interactive idea…cool.
 
W'eel Turtle Sculpture: Dunseith, North Dakota

Made in 1982 from 2,000 tire rims that never made it to their destination, W'eel stands sentinel on the North Dakota prairie and lures customers to Dale's Thrifty Barn, the gas station/cafe/motel responsible for its existence. The 40-foot turtle's one-ton head bobs from side to side, perhaps acknowledging the surrounding Turtle Mountains or the annual turtle derby in nearby Boissevain, Manitoba.

Does this count as a statue?

I met Beulah in the 50's at the amusement park. She has a new dress and her hair was more frizzy and she was in a cage. Very scary to kids.

 
Sure, Nancy...and a laughing statue at that! HAHA! Here is another link on the amusement park.:)

One of the permanent exhibits at the McKinley is the Laffing Lady, or Laffing Sal, or Beulah, an automaton that stood outside the scary “Laff in the Dark” ride. Kenney "one thing we wish we had - there is not one photograph of the Laughing Lady in her original location. We know when she came to us she was not wearing her original dress but we have no clue what her original dress looked like."
 
10,000 Year Old Statue Contains Coded Message About Human Origins

They have had it since 1890, and they "don't have the funds to check it's age"? Sounds fishy to me.
 
Making waves! Gigantic lady of the lake who's got the Germans in a lather (2011)
Meet the not-so-Little Mermaid that has been having a right old knees-up in the German city of Hamburg. Oliver Voss's floating sculpture is designed to look like a woman bathing in the picturesque Alster Lake. The three-piece work of art, which is 13ft high and 98ft long, will be turning heads - with many visitors boarding rowing boats to get a closer look.
