Arts, Briefly: Ringo Loses Leafy Head

A vandal chopped off the head of Ringo Starr from a life-size topiary of that former Beatle over the weekend in Liverpool, England, above, while leaving his band mates untouched, The Liverpool Daily Post reported. The attack occurred a few weeks after the topiary figures, created by the Italian sculptor Franco Covill, were unveiled at the South Parkway train station. “This is a huge disappointment for us,” said an unidentified spokesman for Merseytravel, which coordinates mass transit. “Public art is important, and the topiary was put there to bring a bit of life and soul to the public-transport network.” He said that Merseytravel and the British Transport Police were analyzing surveillance tapes. The topiary tribute celebrates Liverpool’s status as a 2008 European Capital of Culture. Mr. Starr outraged some residents of his native Liverpool when, after opening the European Capital of Culture events, he said he missed nothing about the city.
