Das Schicksal ist ein mieser Verräter
In the book "The Fault in Our Stars", by Indianapolis-based author John Green, the sculpture is the location of a romantic picnic, having been picked by one of the characters as being the most Dutch place in Indianapolis. "Funky Bones" was recreated in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the film adaptation of "The Fault in Our Stars". The recreation was built by set designers, with help from the artist and Sarah Urist Green, wife of John Green, and former Curator of Contemporary Art at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
