Art Eggcident
Henk Hofstra
Zaailand Square, Netherlands
2008

At the beginning of May 2008, Dutch artist, Henk Hofstra placed several eggs out on Zaailand, which is the largest city square in the Netherlands. Each cracked open fried egg measured about 100 feet wide. The eight larger eggs are completely flat, but the smaller ones have a three dimensional ‘yolk’ approx 2.3m in diameter.

Hofstra likes to tackle large environmental and social issues with his public art. This particular art project is a way to address global warming – something the Netherlands could easily be greatly affected by in the future.
