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.
