Peanut Butter Floor Art in Rotterdam | Europe News
Description
In Rotterdam, the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is hosting a gloriously messy tribute: 800 pounds of peanut butter spread across the floor in honor of late Dutch artist Wim T. Schippers, who pioneered this iconic “Peanut Butter Floor” in 1969. The scent alone fills the space, and museum staff spent days carefully smearing the smooth, Dutch-brand spread two centimeters thick over a hexagonal area—no instructions from the artist on size, shape, or even flavor. Past visitors remember the aroma and even the antics: people have stepped on it, and in 1997, some added bread and chocolate sprinkles—something Schippers apparently approved of. This two-month installation is a delicious, sticky celebration of art’s playful spirit.
