I have to say I’m a total fan of the “absolutely hideous “ Oscar Wilde sculpture. I prefer it to the Hambling one. In the Chelsea sculpture Wilde looks as though he is sporting an apparatus like a scold’s bridle - a form of punishment meted out to women to censure their speech. Wilde was ultimately hammered for who he was and for breaching the acceptable. I think there should be room for both sculptures.
