Art or a blot on the landscape?

Went for a walk around the gardens at Chatsworth yesterday where there is a Sotheby's exhibition of contemporary sculpture. These are 3 of the exhibits, what do you think?

I think contemporary art is very much an acquired taste. For me I can only appreciate any type of art if it shows off the exceptional skills of the artist, for after all the word "art" used to mean skill.

I like them all but as has been said right setting is key, first one looks like it's just right.

Re: Art or a blot on the landscape?

The first one compliments its setting, as its an exhibition then they are out of the context they were meant to be shown so the last 2 dont fit for me.
