Artist Robin Protz created an incredible suspended sculpture
of a dragon made up of 40,000 golden buttons hanging from 4,000 fluorocarbon
lines. The massive 18'x12'x8' piece was an early favorite at ArtPrize, the
world's largest art competition going on now in Grand Rapids, Michigan, making
the top 25 list and quickly becoming a part of the "Did you see it?"
conversation. Many called the work their favorite and were sadly disappointed
when they learned that The Dragon, by Robin Protz, was disqualified from the
competition because it had violated one of ArtPrize's rules.
