Contemporary Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman there is something to be proud of. His work is highly regarded in China! And, as with all the best things in the Middle Kingdom, it started there copy! One of the most famous works of the giant artist Florentin Hoffmann is a floating sculpture depicting a huge yellow duckling - a very popular bathroom accessory. With her, the author travels the world, for example, in 2013, he already launched this object in sailing in the harbors of Sydney and Shanghai.
The inhabitants of the Chinese metropolis were so impressed by the sight of a giant yellow duckling floating past the huge skyscrapers of the city center that they decided to get their own jewelry of this kind.
However, much to our surprise, the Chinese did not dare to completely copy the unusual work of Florentin Hoffmann. But they reacted with humor to the work of the Dutch postmodernist. And recently a very funny river tram appeared in the waters of Shanghai.
The shape of this swimming facility is similar to the world-famous Peking duck baked. However, the giant floating dish from the local cuisine is crowned with a huge head of a yellow bath duck.
True, one should not assume that this is a mockery of the work of the world famous artist from Holland. It turns out that this ferry was decorated in such an unusual way specifically in order to transport people from the center of Shanghai to the exhibition complex, where the West Bund 2013 - Shanghai Biennale of Contemporary Art is taking place these days.
