Shuttlecock by juletee

Shuttlecock

Found on the lawn at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art - It is one of 4 shuttlecocks in the sculpture garden located in Kansas City MO. This shuttlecock measures 19 feet 2 9/16 inches x 15 feet 11 7/8 inches - I am going to post a picture with some family standing next to it in my album to show the size. Artists are Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen - the same artists of the Spoonbridge and Cherry located in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden which I photographed and posted in my album on September 4, 2012. I know that there are more sculptures by these artists - now I have to go visit and photograph them.
Very cool! Love how the trees frame the huge shuttlecock!
This picture has an Alice in Wonderland feel to it with the unbelievably large shuttlecock.
