Paris: An art work by the Indian-origin artist, Anish Kapoor, has turned everybody’s heads in France. His latest piece of artwork that represented “the queen’s vagina” has sparked a major row, the local.fr said.

The monument, which is called Dirty Corner, is a gigantic steel funnel among broken rocks, with a deep opening facing the Palace of Versailles itself. It is set to be opened for the public on Tuesday June 9, as part of Kapoor’s entire installation which boasts other large monuments including a whirlpool.

Since, France doesn’t have a queen, it remains unclear exactly to which royal family member the British-Indian sculptor is referring - though some have guessed Marie Antoinette. Others, however, have chosen to focus their attention on the idea that a vagina has suddenly appeared on the famed Tapis de Vert section of the gardens.
