May 15, 2007: Floating naked guy in Milan
Thanks to Wolf for pointing this one out. Yes, it's 70 feet (21 m) long, it's naked, and it's floating - in Milan Italy. And it's a self-portrait by Polish artist Pawel Althamer. full story Quote:

I wonder if the placement of the bicyclist was intentional.

Palazzina Appiani is the location, not the artist's name, as the quote suggests.
He should do an inflatable sculpture version of Botticelli's Birth of Venus, water and all.

Cute, but it's not art.
It's Pawel.

His name is not Art, it's Pawel.
