Lonan3 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 CLICK The Czech artist whose joke sculpture of the 27 European Union nations has caused a diplomatic row told The Times tonight that he was inspired by British satire typified by Monty Python to test whether the EU had a sense of humour. David Cerny admitted that he had misled his own government, which commissioned him to make the 10 million Crown (£350,000) artwork as a showpiece of its presidency of the EU, by making it with his friends instead of artists from the 27 countries. Best comment: "I cannot accept to see a toilet on the map of my country. This is not the face of Bulgaria." [betina Joteva, first secretary for the Bulgarian government office to the EU} Best bit of the sculpture: Germany . It is not a swastika "It is just about autobahns."
