A huge penis of 65 meters was painted on the drawbridge in Saint Petersburg!
A group of artists who painted a large phallic object on a bridge in Russia was disqualified from winning a major prize this week.
The piece was a symbol of protest by the Russian art group called Voina (War) which was against a meeting of international leaders.
“A Penis in KGB Captivity,” masterpiece was also entered into a Russian State Center of Contemporary Arts competition and initially eligible for the organization’s innovation award.
That was before St. Petersburg leaders ordered the painting be washed away by firefighters.
Because it was visible to thousands when the bridged opened, officials deemed the painting inappropriate for passersby.
A Voina spokesman said banning the group from the contest besmirched the name of the arts community and organizers of the competition.
