Description

The city of Eindhoven is only a few kilometers away from my home. There one can find the 'Flying Pins', an artwork by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. Their statement for this piece of art: "The Flying Pins is a site-specific piece in other aspects: the configuration of a ball surrounded by smaller all your wonderful comments onequal forms refers to the origin and development of the city as a center surrounded by five independent villages, a kind of solar system or molecular model. The yellow color of the pins suggested by the daffodils that sprout on the site every spring, also turns the pins into lightbulbs, recalling the products of the city's major historical industry". When you examine this picture you'll notice that it's not only the United States where everything is BIG. Thanks for viewing and have a wonderful working week...;-)
