Tom Otterness also has a wonderful installation in the East River just off of Roosevelt Island called the Marriage of Money and Real Estate.
For those interested, I write a blog about Roosevelt Island and have a post on these sculptures here.

so what’s the story with the boots on a cow?
boots are made of cowhide, kind of creepy.
completely subversive.
5:04, those who can’t spell usually don’t realize they can’t spell. I think you literally have to point out the word.
I’ve got pix of Tom and his studio during Open House New York last year:
