A sculpture of Nelson MP and Environment Minister Nick Smith's head, made from organic cow manure, is going to have a new home, after the Trade Me auction for the piece met its reserve.

The sculpture was made by Canterbury artist and writer Sam Mahon as a protest at water pollution from dairy farms. Bids for the sculpture reached $3090 this morning, and the auction closes at 9pm today.

The bust will be exhibited at Christchurch's Centre of Contemporary Art for two weeks.

Opinion poll

Should the Tasman Rugby Union consider taking legal action against the NZRU in order to save the Makos?

Yes, if it comes to that and they have a good case.

No, that's not the New Zealand way.

Don't know and don't care.
