The 15.5 metre-tall Complex Pile, by acclaimed and controversial American artist Paul McCarthy, is part of a display of inflatable art on show in West Kowloon.
It was found damaged after a sudden downpour following a day of sunshine. Staff at the arts hub site decided to deflate the work.
"A small hole was discovered on the surface of the piece. We are doing our best to fix it and hopefully we can inflate the artwork as soon as possible," a spokeswoman for the West Kowloon Cultural District said. She ruled out vandalism. "We believe it is because of the weather," she said.

It was not really necessary to say in the article that this was don by an "acclaimed and controversial American artist." That much is obvious to everyone on earth but the Americans.
