Still Life with Stone and Car

Very unique sculpture sitting in the middle of the road it's just gotta be seen to be believed

Cool car with rock on it I like it took some pics w it

very nice! every monday after acting lesson with friends we'd always race to this big car (if you're wondering, i won the races most of the time with my extrememly long legs muahaha). i'd love to see it painted blueone day, but it's just a thought.

Great artwork, very centrally located and hard to miss. One of the small things about Sydney that I never forget about.

Time Out Sydney describes this artwork as this - “For the 2004 Biennale of Sydney, Arkansas-born Berlin-based artist Jimmie Durham created this installation from a 1999 Ford Festiva hatchback purchased in Homebush, and a two-tonne quartz boulder from a Central Coast quarry – painted with a face. Originally the car was parked on the Opera House forecourt, and onlookers watched as Durham painted a face on the stone, before it was dropped on the car from a crane above – crushing it. At the time, Durham told the Sydney Morning Herald, "This piece is concerned with monuments and monumentality, but also with nature; that implacable hard stuff.”

In 2006, the piece was permanently installed in its current location in Walsh Bay – in the middle of a roundabout. On approach from either direction along Hickson Rd, you can notice roadworks signs by Australian artist Richard Tipping that read ‘ARTWORK AHEAD’.” So there you have it. I think it represents nature and man-made objects colliding and maybe not living together so harmoniously considering the state of the earth?

Came across this while wandering in the streets around Sydney Harbour Bridge. So its actually an attraction!

Spotted this signature icon at the roundabout near Harbour Bridge, great piece of art work!

Great little piece of artwork tucked away in the heart of the city. Work a gander if your in this part of the city or walking by.

I am unsure of the inspiration of this one so can’t really comment on that regard. Would be great if someone felt like hunting down that information.

Only downside of this one is its location. I would have worried if my children were there that they would have tried to run onto the road.
