Believe it or not there was a controversy over this sculpture entitled “Triangle” in Loveland, Colorado in 2006:

Little Love in Colorado Town for Another Nude Sculpture

Among the residents who have been angered rather than uplifted by ”Triangle” is the Rev. Kevin Klug, the pastor of Abiding Love Lutheran Church. The congregation plans to build a new church for its 160 members on the east side of Loveland, just west of the grassy plot in the middle of a traffic circle where ”Triangle” was installed on Friday.

Mr. Klug said he worried about what to say to his two children, ages 10 and 12, if they asked about the symbolism of ”Triangle.”

”It’s more graphic than it needed to be and inappropriate regardless of whether our church was going in there or not,” he said. ”If you put it on a public street — if that’s the way you’ve got to go to take your kids to drop them off at the recreation park or if you’re going to the high school or coming to our church — you don’t have a choice as to whether you go by it or not.”

Some two dozen residents unsuccessfully petitioned the City Council recently to postpone the placement of ”Triangle,” which joins about 280 other pieces of artwork in Loveland, including 102 sculptures in Benson Park. Six of the park’s sculptures are nudes, and there is another nude sculpture downtown.
