THE towering chrome gnome has been removed from his Frankston home, but his fans have not forgotten him.

Reflective Lullaby (below) by artist Gregor Kregar was positioned at the corner of Moorooduc Highway and Hastings Road in Frankston for the last four years. Earlier this month it returned to its permanent home at the McClelland Gallery sculpture park in Langwarrin.

Tributes to the chrome gnome, known affectionately to many as “Frankie”, have popped up at his former home. A dozen smaller gnomes have been left by fans and followers to fill his enormous silver shoes.

A new sculpture is set to be installed at the site soon.
