How the Walker's Sculpture Garden will grow

German artist Katharina Fritsch's sculpture "Hahn/Cock" was originally displayed in London's Trafalgar Square. Placing a bird closely associated with French culture, painted in one of the French national colors, in a spot commemorating a British victory over the French, was seen as good-natured satire. Fritsch has also described the piece as feminist for its portrayal of strutting masculinity. The version being created for the Sculpture Garden will be Fritsch's largest public art piece in a U.S. museum, and will be sited near the iconic "Spoonbridge and Cherry."
