You guys are all idiots who haven't even been to one of his exhibitions.

You have to experience it in real life to appreciate how magnificent it is.

This video unfortunately cannot convey what this piece is about.

I unhesitatingly -- and unapologetically -- say that seeing this, and the accompanying sculptures, in real life, as I did in 2007, would silence all skeptical statements, such as those made in the comments here, to meaningless trivialities.

if you want to experience new angles everytime you turn your head, just go to a place that has life in it! Having different angles does not make this a work of art, the artist's insanity makes the work of art. If he had the immense strength to imaginate this, this, this very hard curve (?) and put it in a museum by convincing one or tow of his friends, good for him! at least he is enjoying it. And YOU are wasting your time wondering about it. Just accept it! There it is, and here you are.

@SigmaSixxx You are right, it would be impossible to design this in 3 minutes. Unless you are dead. I believe 2,5 seconds would be the most anyone would need to design such a thing.

[free2roq05]

@Typho0n86 Nope.

[aensinger]

@NinkaPanda Absolutely. This was one of my favorite MOMA exhibits of all time.

@Steven2love About a year ago there was an exhibit in the Tuileries in Paris. It was fantastic.

[Typho0n86]

All his work is the same! do something diffrent!!

So, it comes closer in these days.

Well, according to any Art 101 class Brown is a HEAVY color, which makes the pieces more physical and organic. If that sounded like I was talking down to you then my message was successfully conveyed.
