That THING in Ilfracombe. ('sculpture' called 'Verity' by Damien Hirst) A huge bronze of a pregnant woman holding aloft a sword. It's the other side of her I find repugnant. She's been cut away like an anatomical dissection to show muscles, guts and even the unborn foetus. It's been called 'The Belly of the South'. As one headline put it, "What's Ilfracombe Done To Deserve This?" I despair that people call this sort of thing Art and pay vast sums to stick it in a prominent place for all to suffer.
