Popular art work in EU lobby coming down early.

“Entropa,” the controversial piece poking fun at European stereotypes
that was installed earlier this year in the European Council building,
will be removed two months ahead of schedule, but not because of any
controversy. The artist, David C(erný, is pulling it down himself to
protest the recent collapse of the government of his native Czech
Republic.

"This is a protest against what has happened in my country," the
artist told The Associated Press on Friday. He accused Klaus — an EU
critic — of orchestrating the fall of Topolanek's government, which
held the EU presidency in the first half of 2009.

"Killing the government in the middle of the EU presidency was totally
stupid," said Cerny.
