David Černý's "Horse"

Ever heard of the phrase, "Beating a dead horse"?

This is essentially a representation of St. Wenceslas (patron saint of the Czech Republic) riding an upturned dead horse. Ever heard the phrase, "Beating a dead horse"? I think you get it.

 

As for the artist, David Černý, this guy has been to jail for his art and continues to produce what can easily be classified as controversial art. His stuff is all over town so believe me when I say you'll be seeing more of it. I'm only sad that some of his installations tend to be temporary and so I've missed out on what seem to have been some of the more impressive/alarming ones.
