Rachel Feinstein, Dijon (21), La Côte-d'Or (21)

 Rachel Feinstein's Puritan's Delight (2013). In front of this sculpture in the Jardin Darcy in Dijon is a plaque stating that Feinstein deliberately moves away from modernism to question and explore the history of eighteenth and nineteenth century European art. No social criticism or comment on the state of the modern world, but a 'rich, baroque, sophisticated iconography'. Uncluttered, monochrome, such as this example, a battered carriage with its wheel axles pointing upwards.
