DARK, RUDE SIDE OF THE MOON

 Entitled  Lunar  Images , painted steel by Berlin born Jewish  sculptor  Inge King , who died in Australia , aged 100, is  one of  Darwin's pieces  of  public  art. and  attracts much  viewing.  The  dark side of  the  Moon  was closely  examined by  our sharp eyed  art  correspondent, Ponsonby Willis , and  he was  perturbed   to discover  it showed signs  of having  been  the victim of a graffiti attack , offensive words scratched  on  its surface , along  with  a  few rough stars ,see below.

 

 Ponsonby says that if there is a man on the Moon, he should be asked to  immediately cover  the  offending  bits  of  the landscape with some Bunnings  black  paint.
