Public art – share your photos

Whether it be a commissioned traditional bronze statue, graffiti on the wall of an underpass, or a light installation on top of a bus stop, public art is all around us. But is it always good? Public art can be controversial; Marc Quinn’s giant baby sculpture and the latest proposed occupant of the Fourth Plinth in London’s Trafalgar Square are two recent examples.

We'd like to know what you think by sharing with us your photographs of the best and worst public art you come across. The artwork could be as big and famous as Mount Rushmore, or the East-side gallery in Berlin, or something only known about in your local neighbourhood.

Your photo can be from anywhere is the world, but please make sure there are no restrictions on taking photos of the artwork. We’ll publish a selection of our favourite images on guardian.co.uk/artanddesign.
