Hand painted polyurethane-resin in glass dome with wood base - (Amanita muscaria/Coprinus comatus/Boletus edulis/Pleurotus ostreatus) // Multiple Mushroom Dome by Carsten Höller, created in 2012, is a mixed-media sculpture that combines nature-inspired elements with a scientific display aesthetic. Encased in a glass dome with a wooden base, the artwork features a hand-painted polyurethane-resin model of a mushroom, blending characteristics of various fungi species, including Amanita muscaria, Coprinus comatus, Boletus edulis, and Pleurotus ostreatus. The mushroom’s whimsical, almost fantastical appearance is heightened by the vibrant red cap, reminiscent of the iconic Amanita muscaria. Höller’s work often explores themes of perception, biology, and surrealism, inviting viewers to engage with nature in an unfamiliar, almost laboratory-like context. This piece blurs the line between art and natural science, evoking curiosity and a sense of wonder.

What is site specific art?
Site-Specific Art is a form of artwork created to exist in a particular location, with the artist considering the site as an integral part of the creative process. Robert Irwin was a key figure in promoting this art form in California. Site-Specific Art emerged as a reaction against modernist objects, which were often portable, commodified, and confined to museum spaces. In contrast, Site-Specific Art is inherently tied to its location, challenging the traditional notions of art as a transportable and marketable commodity.
