The
ArcelorMittal Orbit is Britain’s largest public sculpture at 115 metre (377ft) and
towers over the Olympic Park. Designed by Anish Kapoor it was built by just
three men, one in a crane with the other two bolting the pieces together. The
Orbit opens to Olympic ticket holders from 27 July and to the general public after
the games.

Mmmmm...romance has gone out of sculpting. I imagined one bloke painstakingly putting this together over many years. And it's a bit ugly too.
