David Cerny's "Metalmorphosis" is pretty amazing. Here is a brief
story about the statue--

It breaks apart, rotates in sections, and reassembles. I was
always a fan of kinetic sculptures and this one is fantastic.
If you are in the Charlotte, NC, area, the location is very easy
to find. It is just off the new I-485 loop on the west side of
Charlotte.

Here's the interesting story. (And we were right: it was Freud).

This post reminded me of a very curious statue my husband spotted hanging
from the top of a building in Prague. We were both certain it must be
Freud, but could find no mention of it anywhere. It hangs from a pole high
above a narrow street, looking down on the pedestrians below, bustling by
and taking no notice of it. The photo doesn't quite do it justice - it
doesn't show as clearly as in real life how much it looks like Freud. We
loved it and tried to come up with some existential explanation for what the
artist really "meant."
