Rare Dali water colors sell for over 1 million. See all 14 artworks here.
Modeled in the same composition as the famous dancing faun, this sculpture is made to be a juggler in a particularly crucial moment of an acrobatic trick.
The artist may also have had the Gemran word kunststückemachen in mind, which means both to juggle, and more literally, to make a work of art.
A play on words to describe this playful bronze.
Juggling Man, about 1610-1615, Adriaen de Vries. J. Paul Getty Museum.

Last year we discovered the gigantic sea creature-themed snow sculptures made by Austin, Connor and Trevor Bartz, aka the Bartz Brothers (previous featured here), in the front yard of their family home in New Brighton, Minnesota. Previously they’ve made a massive shark, an enormous walrus and a huge, spiny puffer fish. The brothers are back in action this winter with an awesome awesome sea turtle measuring 12 feet tall and 37 feet wide.
"Last year some kids screamed at the shark," said Connor of their 2014 sculpture, so this year they said they wanted to build a sculpture that was distinct but friendly looking. "It takes up our whole front yard," said Austin. "It couldn’t be bigger."
The trio spent over 300 hours working on this colossal chelonian, which required gathering the snow from not just their own yard, but from the yards of 11 neighbors and a nearby tennis court. The snow is transported via sled and the sculpture was built entirely by hand.
Click here for a behind-the-scenes video showing the construction of this giant snow sea turtle.
Head over to the Bartz Snow Sculptures Facebook page to check out more photos of their wonderful winter sculptures. We can’t wait to see what the brothers come up with next year.

Everyone is up in arms (including us) about the jacket redesign for Sylvia Plath’s THE BELL JAR, so let’s stare at these hauntingly beautiful old covers and practice our deep-breathing exercises together.
