APOLLO LEM (steel, plywood, electronics, tools)

 

Tom Sachs sculpts truly elaborate masterpieces. In 2001, he recreated Le Corbusier’s 1952 Unité d’Habitation using only foamcore and a glue gun, and constructed a McDonald’s solely from plywood, glue, and assorted kitchen appliances. His attention to detail is mind-blowing. So intense.

    I love it! Reminds me of this Japanese artist who made pink amps & a whole kitchen out of similar materials…I can’t remember his name. Kaz something.

    can’t remember where the recent show in NY was but I was in love. There was a whale atop a grand piano and it was truly mindblowing.
