Is it me or is that picture above looking like an oscar statue stooping to sniff cocaine?
The installation titled ‘Hollywood’s best party’ is seen on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles.
The statuette was removed from Hollywood Boulevard. Apparently, it was the work of the art group Plastic Jesus, who constructed a similar statue last year in which the figure was seen apparently shooting up with heroin. In the wake of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s drug-related death earlier that month, the installation provoked some anger.
What do you think guys?
