Another trip to Antwerp, another visit to Middelheim, the sculpture park out in the south-eastern suburbs. While much of the display is permanent, there are always new exhibits….like this, nicely combining a Belgian taste for the macabre with their love of cycling:

That rope on the right allows you to cycle him along the tightrope.

A few more…

That last one is Henry Moore, King and Queen: before that, the lovely bottom of a Renoir Venus.

These two I showed before, but….well, I like 'em:

I previously attributed Two Pregnant Women to Rik Wouters. There are indeed a number of his sculptures in the park, but this is by Charles Leplae.
 
There's a Middelheim gallery by Wim Herten here.

    I’ll take the one under the tightrope piece, if they’re looking to unload them. 😉
