Guerilla Art

I came across this picture while looking up pictures of the Netherlands. To me it almost seems like a form of Project Mayhem, except in reverse. I would like someday to be cool enough to pull off some such feat myself.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands
This was secretly left inside of the opera/ballet auditorium in Amsterdam. No one knows who put it there, though some people think it was the Queen (who is an artist, but not of this style). There are many other pieces of art like this that some unknown artist leaves around the city. Speculation says that the artist is quite famous and doesn't want to make a big stir by publicly announcing his/her artwork. One of the pieces is a nipple and breast with a hand approaching it. Appropriately enough, that is located in the red light district.

There's a lot of art like that in Seattle. In fact, most of the public art that's in the fremont district was put there by guerilla artists. They just stuff there and no one seemed to mind, so it all stayed.
