Black Snowmen .. [1 / 2] Sculpture by Tom Claassen at Schiphol airport, Amsterdam, NL. two incredible sitting black snowmen Unlike most corporate art collections, the one belonging to Schiphol Airport is on permanent show to the general public. It consists of sculptures and installations scattered throughout the airport’s various departure lounges and other public spaces. When acquiring works, the airport therefore takes account of the busy surroundings, not only in practical terms, but also in terms of passenger response. The Two Incredible Sitting Black Snowmen are sited in one of Schiphol’s departure lounges. The two massive male figures look as if they are sitting there waiting to be met by relatives and create a small haven of tranquillity amid the plethora of busy sales points and publicity. Even though they are cast in bronze, they look soft-surfaced and many passengers do actually touch them to check the material. Although large in scale, the figures seem a natural part of the space and travellers often feel free to sit down on them to rest.year 2000 city Amsterdam size 2 delen, each 160 x 200 x 220 cm material Bronze location Entry to D pier, Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam latitude 52.30921 longitude 4.76283 HDR from Hydra app, background bokehed with Pixelmator. -- source link
