About Cow Parade Moondrian - Sculpture - (Mini)

This exclusive cow parade Mondrian sculpture was designed by Jon Eastman for the New York Cow Parade event in 2000 and it's available in the miniature size. The original sculpture was made in fiberglass and it showed  Mondrian's iconic style with geometric figures displaying variations of colored squares and rectangles. The painting was born from the "˜De Stijl' movement, one of the major modern movements focused on Neo-Plasticism and founded by Mondrian. The horizontal lines signify a sense of rest and calm, while the vertical lines communicate a sense of height. The lines create a sense of stability and solidarity by working together as an overall piece. Mondrian portrayed this sense of stability through his paintings and evoked feelings of an utopian society rather than face the instability of the world in its current state. Jon Eastman figurine is now part of the Museum Edition of the cows on parade. New York, NY hosted a herd of 500 cows pasturing from Summer until Fall 2000. It is interesting to notice that New Yorkers pointed out that the cows on parade were not American! Indeed, most American cows have their horns removed at birth. Knapp is the Swiss-born sculptor who shaped the cows on parade specifically for the event. Pascal Knapp owns the copyrights to the standing, reclining, and grazing cow shapes used in all CowParade exhibits. CowParade New York auctions were a great success and raised $ 1,351,000 benefiting several New York City charities. The average bid was $ 18,257. However, the highest winning bid was $ 60,000, for Tiffany Cow. In the end, the cows on parade provided an opportunity to support the work performed by these charities while enjoying a unique art form. Each figurine always comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a soft dust bag.
