Interesting capture, Dean. I wonder if this sculpture is by the same sculptor, Claes Oldenburg, who created the "Clothespin" and "Paintbrush" sculptures in Philadelphia. #1551099

Thanks Michelle. I looked this up and the fiddle was designed and constructed by Cyril Hearn of Sydney. It's 60 foot tall and weighs 8 tons. It's indeed a reall
big fiddle! #10889308

Thanks...about the same size as the urban sculptures I described. The FIDDLE is way more beautiful, though. #10889356
