Too Funny: Museum Likes A Sculpture's Small Wooden Support Than The Actual Sculpture

Just read.

Okay, that little wooden q-tip thing was intended as a support for the "Laughing Head."

The museum thought they were separate pieces, and exhibited the small q-tip support independently.

Further, it's sticking to its guns, stating that:

The Academy said the judging panel assumed the two pieces were separate and decided the support was better.

...

In a statement, the Academy said Mr Hensel's work, One Day Closer To Paradise, was submitted as two separate pieces.

"Given their separate submission, the two parts were judged independently.

"It is accepted that works may not be displayed in the way that the artist might have intended."
