Suspended Dragon Made of 40,000 Golden Buttons




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.
