103108

The vivid chrome colors in this piece by Jeff Koons immediately caught my eye; even though these large stylized "flowers" are probably pretty weighty, the finish makes them look like delicate glass. It's funny how we need the slightest hints of identification to help us move more easily in contemporary art; "Big Iron Blobs in Chrome Paint" just doesn't have the same recognition and charm as "Tulips."
