Denkend aan een groot artiest die vandaag heenging, tuurde ik net nog even naar de maan. (Prachtig check it out) Daar lag een eeuwigheid exact één kunstwerk, dat van de Belg Paul Van Hoeydonck. ‘Fallen astronaut’…

(feb vorig jaar landden 125 minisculpturen van de Amerikaanse kunstenaar Jeff Koons op de maan)

Probeer zeker zijn verhaal te bekijken, er zijn prima docu’s over dit fascinerend gebeuren !
