Many fear spiders. Yet, it’s hard to deny that their woven homes are somehow an artwork that could be deadly for other insects! Building on the terrible beauty of spiderwebs, Berlin-based Argentinian artist Tomas Saraceno filled New York’s The Shed gallery with artificial spiderwebs.
The $404-million-construction, which looks less like a shed and more like a giant steel cushion, first opened in 2019 and has become a high-profile new platform for art in the 21st century, said the German news agency.
