Chrome Plated Lenin Reflects on LA Located right on the corner of the busy intersection at 4th and La Brea: a giant chrome plated portrait of Lenin, with what appears to be a baby Chairman Mao doing a "Great Wallenda" balancing act on the top of his head. The piece is titled, "Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin's Head" and is by the Chinese artist brothers Gao Zhen and Gao Qiang.
The highly polished piece reflects well on its surroundings.
