Paul McCarthy's Santa Isn't Kid-Friendly

Paul McCarthy is known for his bizarre art and his versions of Santa seem to surface each December, with this year being no exception.  Gone are the days when Santa held a tree in McCarthy’s sculptures, he’s moved on…to butt plugs.

This year, apparently Santa really wants to deck your halls! This sculpture depicts Santa himself brandishing a rather large butt plug instead of a tree. Additionally, you can purchase chocolate (yes, really) replicas of the sculpture.

The old elf has surfaced often in McCarthy's oeuvre, from the outrageous fecal-smearing bacchanalia of the mid-'90s Tokyo Santa (1996) and Santa Chocolate Shop (1997), to an entire series of recent sculptural works based on a Santa figure holding aloft a tree-like butt plug. This latter series culminated in Chocolate Santa (2007), McCarthy's warped take on entrepreneurship in the form of a fully functioning "Chocolate Santa with Butt Plug" factory, churning out $100 gift boxes at a rate of 1,000 a day in New York's Maccarone Gallery.
