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.
