The Headington Shark | Oxford
The Headington Shark (proper name Untitled 1986) is a rooftop sculpture located at 2 New High Street, Headington, Oxford, England, depicting a large shark embedded head-first in the roof of a house.
The shark first appeared on 9 August 1986.[1] Bill Heine, a local radio presenter who owned the house until 2016, has said The shark was to express someone feeling totally impotent and ripping a hole in their roof out of a sense of impotence and anger and desperation, It is saying something about CND, nuclear power, Chernobyl and Nagasaki. The sculpture, which is reported to weigh 200 kg and is 25 feet (7.6 m) long is made of painted fibreglass, and is named Untitled 1986 (written on the gate of the house). The sculpture was erected on the 41st anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki. It was designed by sculptor John Buckley and constructed by Anton Castiau, a local carpenter and friend of John Buckley.
