Santa Claus is a 2001 statue by Paul McCarthy in the Eendrachtsplein square of Rotterdam. Artist Paul McCarthy knows better than anyone how to depict the hypocrisy of modern society. Santa Claus is therefore an ironic critique of consumer society. It is a critical note that fits into McCarthy's oeuvre. Due to his design he combines 'high' with 'low' culture. The sculpture would be placed on the corner of the Kruiskade and the Karel Doormanstraat near concert hall De Doelen. In November 2008, Santa Claus finally got its permanent place on the Eendrachtsplein. The statue has become a well-known Rotterdam symbol.
