Ubuciko bomphakathi buhlala buncike engxoxweni, futhi e- San Diego , okuthandayo kufaka ukugijima ngakwesokunxele kunesisindo. Izifanekiso zamahlengethwa nabadobi ngeke zidale ukuqhuma, kodwa noma yini ebonakalayo eyokwenza ukuthi izikhala zithukuthele. Kunesithombe esisodwa esithile esabangela ukufudumala, okungaphezu kokuthukuthela, kanye nezinga eliphakeme lamahloni ahlazekile. Ebonisa ukunyakaza okukhulu kwamathumbu, abasebenzi basezibhedlela neziguli zeScripps Green Hospital okubhekiswe kuso isiqeshana se-sculpture njenge "Scripps Turd" ehlala idumela layo kuze kube yilolu suku.
Ukudweba Okubhaliwe , Okeanos , aka "The Scripps Turd"
I-Scripps Turd isakhiwo esenziwe ngobhedu esingabonakali esibizwa ngokuthi i- Okeanos ngumculi uWilliam Tucker. I-Tucker iyimidwebo yesimanje yaseBrithani kanye nesazi sezobuciko esizalwe eCairo, eGibhithe . U-Tucker waya eNyuvesi yase-Oxford ngo-1955 kuya ku-1958 futhi waqhubekela phambili ekutadisheni isithombe esiseStart's School of Art eLondon ngaphansi komfundisi nomqeqeshi u-Anthony Caro. Usuke wathola imiklomelo eminingana nodumo lomsebenzi wakhe, njenge:
- I-Guggenheim Fellowship yezobuciko zobuciko ngo-1986
- I-International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement ku-Contemporary Sculpture ngo-2010
- Isihloko se-National Academician ku-National Academy Museum ngo-2011
Phakathi kuka-1988 no-2001, abantu abashayela eNorth Torrey Pines Road eLa Jolla ngokungangabazeki baqaphele ubuciko obukhulu bukaTucker obuyizinyawo ezingu-13 phambi kweScripps Green Hospital. Naphezu kokuphazanyiswa komphakathi ngesakhiwo sobuciko, isithombe se-3 500-pound sathunyelwa i $ 200,000 ngo-1987.
Imali evela kubaxhasi ngokuhlonipha uFrank J. Dixon, uMqondisi we-Institute iminyaka engu-25.
UTucker ubizwa ngokuthi umdwebo ngemuva komkulunkulu wamaGreki wemifula nolwandle, i-Okeanos noma i-Ὠκεανός (i-Ōkeanós), owaziwa ngokuthi i-Oceanus. Ama-okeanos kwakuyi-Titan eyamelela ulwandle futhi yayiyindodana endala ku-Uranus noGaia.
U-Tucker uthe leli fomu, kuye, liphakamisa ukuguqulwa kolwandle, futhi kwadunyiswa abagxeka abaningi lapho kuvezwe.
Ukugxekwa nokubukwa kwesithombe kusukela ngo-1988-2001
UMichael Brenson, owayengumdwebi wezobuciko weThe New York Times, wabhala ngo- Okeanos ngo-1988:
"Lesi sithombe siyi-curve esivuthayo ebonakala siphambuka emhlabeni futhi siphenduka njengegagasi. Akusikisela nje amanzi kuphela kodwa futhi kufaka amafu nezimila kanye nezitho zomuntu."
Maye, umphakathi awuzange uzizwe ngendlela efanayo. Kanti no-philanthropist u-Edythe H. Scripps, ngakho-ke "i-Turd" yasuswa ngo-2001. "Ngangizama ukukhipha leyo nto iminyaka," kusho uScripps ku-Union-Tribune ngo-2001. ujabule ukubona lokhu kuhamba. "Ngakho-ke, lesi sithombe sathunyelwa endaweni engabonakali engxenyeni engasempumalanga yeScripps Research Institute, ekhoneni likaJohn Hopkins Drive kanye neNkantolo Ejwayelekile Yase-Atomics. isamba semali engu- $ 40,000.
Ukungena kukhululekile ngombono, futhi isici se- Okeanos sisengatholakala endaweni eshiwo ngenhla kulabo abakubheka njengento ehamba phambili yobuciko.
