Installation: Mushroom Cloud of Steel



Made as a protest against the tomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Gupta created this massive mushroom cloud out of pots, pans, and kitchen utensils.  It weighs 26 tons, it measures 36x36 feet, and it took three cranes to lift it and seven days to install it.
