An interesting art collection

I have shown pictures of where I work and mentioned it is a pretty unique place. Here is a bit more about it. The CEO and founder of the company I work for along with his daughter have spent the last 10 years or so building a very unique art collection. It is called The West Collection. Many of the pieces in the west collection are on long term loan to the company. They even have art tours that the public can sign up for.

The other night there was a networking event that started with some wine, fruit and cheese and an art tour. I got to go and snap a few shots of people enjoying the event.





Where else can you see giant shoes made entirely of licorice.



or Lit up art work made from cockroach wings. (Yes I said cockroach wings)




or large portraits of crying runny nosed toddlers. (By Canadian Photographer Jill Greenburg if you know of her)




or and enormous oil painting of a dead fly that sits right between the rest room and the cafeteria...




or one really angry giant 9+ foot giant diptych Toddler. (As a side note years ago where I sat was right in front of this giant toddler and I always felt like she was watching me...)
