Anyone familiar with the Superlambbanana sculptures in Liverpool?

The Super Lamb Banana was the original work of Japanese-based artist Taro Chiezo. Commissioned for the Art Transpennine Exhibition of 1998, the sculpture was a controversial, but welcome addition to the public art arena in Liverpool. Standing an impressive seventeen feet tall and comprised of concrete and steel, the statue first attracted interest from its original position on the Strand. The unusual artwork was created to warn of the dangers of genetically modified food, whilst being appropriate to the city of Liverpool due to the port's rich history in the trade of lambs and the import of bananas.

Was out for a ride with one of my mates, when, totally unexpectedly, we saw these two sculptures on the Albert Dock.

With the colour of our bikes, it'd be rude not to really, wouldn't it?

About 150 now I think, been meaning to go and get as many as possible taken with my bike next to them, could result in some interesting logistical problems/covert operations considering some are location on roadabouts/middle of town!
