Tree (installation)
"Tree" was a controversial high inflatable sculpture by the artist Paul McCarthy that was briefly installed in the Place Vendôme in Paris in October 2014〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paris 'sex toy' sculpture raises storm )〕 as part of a FIAC exhibition called "Hors les murs". Although officially described as a Christmas tree, it was widely criticised for its similarity in appearance to a huge green butt plug.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=US artist erects giant green 'butt plug' in Paris )〕 McCarthy admitted that it was deliberately shaped as such as a joke.
The controversy over the sculpture led to McCarthy being assaulted and the sculpture being vandalised only two days after its installation; a vandal climbed the fencing around it and cut the power supply which kept it inflated, in addition to cutting the cords holding it up. McCarthy stated that he did not want the work repaired or replaced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paris's giant 'butt plug' installation vandalised )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paris flustered erection sex toy sculpture )〕
The attention given to the sculpture brought a boom in sales of real butt plugs in Paris: a sex shop owner reported that he usually sold 50 per month predominantly to gay men, but in November 2014 sold over 1,000 roughly divided equally between heterosexual men and women.
