ArtPrize Entry – Giant Quackers

Now that ArtPrize 2013 is all done, I have to say there were some pieces that didn't make the top 25 and/or top 10 that I really hoped would.

One of my favorite entries were the GIANT QUACKERS, who you saw in front of Grand Rapids Public Museum during your travels downtown. They were so cool.  I thought surely they would be in the top 25.  If there were a "Kids Top 10," I'm confident they would've landed there.

In fact, if I had a yard (condo life) I would've looked at purchasing one or all of them!  (That's something I haven't discussed with my wife, however.)  Maybe I'm just a kid at heart.

Anyway, the "Giant Quackers" were designed by artists David Seitzinger and Gary Cacchione of the Dovetail Gallery in Erie, Pennsylvania.

From their website:

This project was a commissioned work for the 2012 governor’s awards and is now a campus symbol at Mercyhurst University. Recently the family of art ducks was seen by an estimated 100,000 at the Perry 200 Commemorative Parade in Erie, PA.
