I’d like to know where are they from…
Batman and Superman, huh? I`ve always been suspicious about the relationship between Batman and Robin, but I didn`t suspect this.
From artists’ twisted minds.
I recognise a couple of them, #10 (giving the finger) is from Milan, #7 (man with kids), by far the oldest statue here is from Vigelandsparken in Oslo. That park is full of statues that could have earned a place here, like f.ex. the foetus, and Sinnataggen (the angry kid):http://www.pbase.com/image/45822329 ,the most famous statue there together with Monolitten (the monolith): http://www.vigeland.museum.no/no/vigelandsparken/monolitten .
Vigeland probably got the idea to the last one by throwing a coin up in the air somewhere in Sweden.

The empty-headed man with the little one on his shoulders is in Prague, Old Town. It´s a homage to Franz Kafka, one of the most famous Czech writers.
