Toaster of Toast

by Nicole Weston, Posted Jul 5th 2006 @ 2:02PM

Sometimes, food is art, but in this case, art is food. This giant toaster mosaic measures 16.5x15-feet and is made of 2,500 pieces of toast. Each piece of bread was toasted to a precise color of doneness to create the depth and shading in the picture. It took the Swedish artists, as well as some friends who assisted with the toasting, several days to put together the image. The piece is not on permanent display at the Modern Art Museum of Buenos Aires, where it was one of the museum's most popular pieces when it made its debut.

Butter and jam are probably prohibited in the room with the exhibition.
