The thieves got away with 60 kilos of stainless steel penisses, tits, and arses welded together.
It is suspected that the work was stolen for it's metal value. The thieves can sell the metal for a few hundred euros. This is nothing compared to the price paid by the city when they ordered the piece, for 45000 euros.

I get that art is valuable and some such but seriously what is the point in paying that much? Couldn't that have gone towards getting more flowers/herbs/plants in the city? They're pretty, can have medicinal values and they produce oxygen. Also they can be arranged in an artistic/autistic manner.

Autistic management takes it to a level of meticulousness that your average bob would consider 10 times too excessive. See: Dorf Fortress players

Also in seriousness they didn't pay 45 bags of big monies just to have metal dicks, they compensated the artist for their labours and that artist was worth 45 bags of metal monies for metal dicks. Frankly this all stems from some bullshit because any good hobo could've given the state hundreds of bag of sculpted metal dicks for the fraction of the cost, fuck it, there are people who would do it for free. Fuck it, if my local government said "JOHN DOE YOU NEED TO MAKE THE METAL DICKS" my first response would be "HOW MANY METAL DICKS DO YOU NEED GOVERNMENT". Some people just don't understand patriotism

OCD management seems like a better one. Dunno.......

Though yeah, bunch of metal dicks, asses, and maybe vaginas in what looks like a metal net is art, wtf.....

I don't see why not. There's plenty of paintings of vaginas by famous painters that sell for millions, why would a sculptor not be allowed to use dicks and tits?

Excuse me while I make a montage piece of the various doodles of penises and vaginas from bathroom stalls I photographed.

I expect it will be valued at roughly 500 memes.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

As art is pretty much exclusively about sex, one could say that the tit-dick-ass sculpture is a pinnacle of art for being honest instead of hiding behind confetti and metaphors.

As LW put it, Art is a reflection of the values of the people and society that made it.

Ours is all about dat sex. Freud did nothing wrong.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

No no, I mean all art from all societies is about sex. I'm not even entirely kidding here. Art started as cavepainting porn and kind of got out of control from there on out.

[scriver]

I bet before there were cave paintings people were making impressions into the sand of their dicks.

And so it is that the sum total of human expression is in a word, fucked or be fucked

Art expresses our imaginations and the limits thereof. It is a world where people think they are always happy, always get what they want, where their art reflects the narrow mindedness of a people whose sole pursuits are gratification of desire. Concepts of values, family, faith, philosophy, truth, empathy and honour become jokes, then problematic issues, then dead, as one by one the whole range of human existence is narrowed into the most material and base - a world where anything is permissible for as long as it does not interfere with orgasms and economic prosperity. Shit's all fucked because near all the cultural nexuses of mankind are controlled by so few powerful groups of people all interested in distilling culture into the most marketable, agreeable and narrow band of politically sexy pop culture that whether or not they care that they've created a Brave New World doesn't matter at all, it leaves with the same end result. This is kali yuga. Apollo is kill, Dionysus is win

The one consolation is that welcoming to erasure allows for dank memes. Gives me 2012 doom paul pasta vibes
