- Title: Play-Doh
- Description: Jeff Koons spent twenty years creating Play-Doh, which is a 10-foot tall painted aluminum sculpture. Play-Doh was assembled through the use of 27 perfectly interlocking sections of painted aluminum. Gravity alone fastens them together, the weight of each color pressing down on the next. It was inspired by a mound of Play-Doh that his son made, but creating it required extensive exploration of materials and fabrication techniques by scientists, metallurgists, and modelers.
