Tulips

15 May 2008

I saw the following image on Google.com a couple of weeks ago:

Tulips by Jeff Koons

I recognised it because I’d seen the real artwork not a week before at the Guggenheim Museum while in Spain. Strange coincidence. If you go to this image and look closely, you can see the artwork on the balcony to the right.

It’s a cool piece of art. It looks like a bunch of party balloons, all very light and bouncy. In reality, the artwork is made of steel, and weighs quite a few tons.
