Description
"Giant Van Gogh's Sunflowers Painting, Goodland, Kansas" by Catherine Sherman.
When you are driving on Interstate Highway 70 in western Kansas, be sure to visit Goodland, Kansas, to see the giant reproduction of Van Gogh's Sunflowers painting.
According to the website RoadsideAmerica.com, Goodland boasts "the World's Largest Easel (or at least the largest along a U.S. Interstate). It's 80 feet tall, and displays a 32x24-foot representation of one of Van Gogh's seven "Sunflower" paintings. The giant Van Gogh painting is about a half-mile off of I-70, along Hwy 24 near the center of town.
Kansas is the "Sunflower State," and Goodland is at the center of the local sunflower industry. The trade group, Sunflowers USA, raised the $150,000 necessary to build the easel after Canadian artist Cameron Cross pitched the idea to the group in 2000. The Easel was dedicated in August 2001, during Goodland's Sunflower Festival.
The easel is built of steel, weighing 45,000 pounds. The supports are sunk 35 feet into the ground.
Cross has created many giant easel paintings, including at least one other Van Gogh sunflower painting. http://cameronacross.com/publicart/van-gogh-project
