Hamburg’s Inner Alster Lake had a new inhabitant. For ten days, a giant woman sculpture called 'Die Badende' (The Bather) graced the lake, making it the world’s biggest bathtub.

She rises 13-feet out of the water, stretches 67-feet long and weighs more than 2-tons of styrofoam-and-steel sculpture. Created by German sculptor Oliver Voss, “Die Badende” was in reality an advertisement for British beauty products company Soap & Glory to promote the 'art' of bathing.

Public Purse Sculpture
Melbourne, Australia

Public Purse, for Australians at least, one of British sculptor Simon Perry's more recognisable works: located in the Bourke Street Mall, it functions as a unique, distinctive form of seating. The piece was commissioned by the council as part of their Percent For Art program in which one per cent of the council's budget was dedicated to funding public artworks with the goal of integrating art into the public spaces of the city.
