#2 One side of the statue depicts a screaming face, the other shows a closed mouth.

Tasteless, yet pointless, a true art treasure. Maybe something a little less edgy wouldn't attract the appropriate attention.

#4 Any ID on "the woman"? I can probably guess...

One side of the statue depicts a screaming face, the other shows a closed mouth.

#6 How about a fully electrified statue? Euro 220 should keep the flies away.

#7 Yes BigJim, I concur, it sounds tasteless yet oh so pointless....

and no reference to the religious evil that silenced him either - no memorial plaque commending free speech in the face of Islamist Fascism... no no no
