Jacob Epstein's Day and Night (1928) Portland Stone, carved for London Underground's Headquarters at 55 Broadway, London.
When they were unveiled, the graphic nudity of the sculptures was just too shocking for Londoners in the 1920s. Newspapers started a campaign to have the statues removed and one company director even offered to pay the cost.
Frank Pick the managing director of London Underground at the time took overall responsibility and offered his resignation over the scandal. In the end, Epstein agreed to remove a couple of inches from the penis of the smaller figure on Day and ultimately the furore died down.
