Van Gogh´s Ear

The world famous Danish/Norwegian artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset has transformed the Fifth Avenue entrance to the Channel Gardens at Rockefeller Center this spring. Their large-scale new work Van Gogh´s Ear is a sculpture that takes form of a swimming pool. With it´s cyan blue interior, polished stainless steel ladder, bright lights and diving boards the sculpture was conceived specifically for this site, where fashion, commerce, tourism, business and art collide. The sculpture appears as a playful contradiction of a familiar object surprisingly placed at the iconic site.
