Police Impound “The Last Pedophile”

A New Mexico artist’s work, The Last Pedophile, a 1-inch, 1,100-pound sculpture piece, was impounded by Albuquerque police due to complaints of the sculpture’s title. “It’s a vertical chalk outline of somebody who’s been, a dead person on the ground,” the artist told KOAT in Albuquerque. Dozens of bullet holes cover the front of the sculpture. According to KOAT, the artist said he was not trying to incite action, he was trying to provoke thought, and he used the title to do it. The sculpture’s title was so controversial that its title was covered over at the previous exhibition site.
