Size isn't everything

A little applied googling reveals that the smaller Brancusi sculpture at Beaubourg, mentioned in my previous post, is actually this one. The bigger one at Pierre Gianadda was harder to track down, and I could only find it referred to rather coyly as "The Large Rooster".

My mum, who used to be a lecturer at the Royal Vet College, has a stuffed rooster toy with has a noisebox inside it. She once told her students, in a tutorial, "I have a cock that crows when I squeeze it" before realising what she'd said.
