Rotterdam museum spreads 360 kilos of peanut butter in tribute to artist Wim T. Schippers

More than 360 kilograms of peanut butter have been spread at a museum in Rotterdam as a tribute to Dutch conceptual artist Wim T. Schippers, who died last month at the age of 83.

The work “Pindakaasvloer” (“peanut butter floor”) was first created in 1969 and in its current form consists of 40 buckets of peanut butter spread over a 25-square-metre hexagon to a thickness of 2 centimetres.

Schippers was known for absurd works that challenged the concept of art. Over the years, visitors have accidentally stepped on the sticky work, and in 1997 it was “vandalised” with slices of bread and chocolate sprinkles.
