World's Largest Sock Monkey Sculpture: A Record-Breaking Art Installation (2026)

A 50-foot sock monkey has set a new world record, capturing attention worldwide.

Evans-Munton explains the artwork as a tribute to the toys we abandon and the bittersweet ache that comes with outgrowing a favorite companion from childhood.

The sculpture rests in the open, exposed to sun, wind, rain, and storms. It begins as a pristine piece, but over time it endures the weather and gradually appears worn and dented—almost as if the artist has left it behind, while viewers encounter it and form their own impressions during its exhibition at the art school.

The artist, who frequently uses textiles to craft soft sculptures, hopes the piece will evoke a sense of childlike wonder in observers and remind them of simpler, imaginative days.
