The unveiling of Harry Kane's statue has sparked mixed reactions, with some claiming it would have fared better left in storage, reflecting ongoing critiques of football sculptures.
Art historian Richard Morris quipped about the statue's likeness, stating that Kane 'did the unveiling of whoever it is he's next to,' highlighting the humorous disconnect in football statues.
Waldemar Januszczak, a Sunday Times art critic, remarked on the consistency of poor representations in football statues, suggesting a moratorium due to their 'comic poses' and 'awful' likenesses.
Despite criticism, there are notable art pieces inspired by football, with iconic artists like Picasso and Warhol contributing; however, football's artistic representation remains largely overlooked.
