The Headington Shark
''The Headington Shark'' (proper name ''Untitled 1986'') is a rooftop sculpture at 2 New High Street, Headington, Oxford, England, depicting an oversized shark embedded head-first in the roof of a house.
==Appearance==
The shark first appeared on 9 August 1986. Bill Heine, a local radio presenter who still owns the house, has said "The shark was to express someone feeling totally impotent and ripping a hole in their roof out of a sense of impotence and anger and desperation... It is saying something about CND, nuclear power, Chernobyl and Nagasaki". The sculpture, which is reported to weigh 〔 and is long, and is made of painted fibreglass, is named ''Untitled 1986'' (written on the gate of the house). The sculpture was erected on the 41st anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki.〔 It was designed by sculptor John Buckley and constructed by Anton Castiau a local carpenter and friend of John Buckley. For the occasion of the shark's 21st anniversary in August 2007, it was renovated by the sculptor,〔 following earlier complaints about the condition of the sculpture and the house.
