The Last Three (sculpture)

The Last Three is a bronze sculpture depicting the last three Northern white rhinoceros by Gillie and Marc.[1][2] The art-critic Jerry Saltz called the work "a Kitschy Monstrosity," saying it was "an ugly, bathos-filled folly that proves my adage that 95 percent of all public sculpture is crap" and "little more than a place to take selfies."[3] It is installed at the San Antonio Zoo, as of 2018.[4][5]
