Tulips

These were outside the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Although they look very soft they are actually steel. The description says it is extremely difficult to produce something that looks so delicate but isn't. They were made by Jeff Koons .

This is a stunning sculpture. It's beautiful. I love the colours. It looks like the stuff helium balloons are made from. Great photo Jane.

@susiemc @gerry the sculptor succeeded then .he was trying to make them look as though they were made of the stuff of the helium balloons.

What a fun sculpture. They do look soft, like balloons. I wouldn't have picked steel. Lovely rainbow colours.

[Sharron Green]

Very neat. Hard to tell their size, but upon a second look, I believe they are huge. Fav, really like them!

I love 3D art of all forms. These have to be the most colourful and shiny forms I have seen. FAV
