"Queen’s Vagina"- Controversial Sculpture Sparks Uproar in France!

Groufie near Anish Kapoor's work 'Dirty Corner' dubbed as "Queen’s Vagina"; Chateau de Versailles.  

A huge steel-and-rock abstract sculpture installed in the stately grounds of the Palace of Versailles dubbed by it's British-Indian sculptor/artist Anish Kapooras as the "Queen's Vagina" sparked an uproar in France! 

The 200-foot long, 33-foot high abstract, resembling a funnel in the form of an orifice, is set up in the garden aimed directly at the royal chateau, which attracts five million tourists a year. Kapoor, 61, actually titled the work "Dirty Corner" which is part of an exhibition of his work in the grounds of the 17th century palace and runs until November.  Some French media outlets expressed unease at the level of provocation unleashed by Kapoor.
