We all have this one sculpture or piece of "art" that we are ashamed of. Even when almost everyone agrees it's ugly - you'll hear this unbeatable argument - art is meant to cause discussions and it just did - so it's actually good! Sound familiar?

Inspired by this Reddit thread, we decided to invite everyone to post these "art" pieces to this list. Maybe all of our cities have something similar?
