Unveiled in time for the 25th anniversary of his Senate hearings on music censorship, this bust of Frank Zappa is a tribute to the avant-garde Baltimore icon who passed away in 1993.
Sitting in front of the latest addition to Baltimore's Enoch Pratt Free Library, the bust was commissioned by a Lithuanian organization by a sculptor who "normally does busts of Stalin," and stands on top of a 12-foot pole. At Christmastime, the bust is adorned with a Santa hat. The street near the library has also been (unofficially) renamed Frank Zappa Way.
