Taupo ratepayers have paid $50,000 for a wind sculpture. The wind-activated art piece, called Flip, by Christchurch sculptor Phil Price, was unveiled this week on the lakefront.
It is made up of four carbon fibre red panels that rotate in the wind.
Taupo Mayor Rick Cooper said the sculpture will add interest to Taupo's lakefront.
