Do you play golf or at least find the sport interesting? Then you should also like “Longest drive in New York City” by Frank Krüger, in which playing golf or the golfer play a major role! On 150 x 120 cm, Frank makes what would otherwise be impossible in this work of art! Another pearl from the series of his surrealist works related to New York!
Golf is more than a game!
Anyone who plays golf will be able to confirm that this sport is not just a game, but also to a certain extent a way of life. And that’s probably what makes many people so fascinating. Anyone who is already fascinated by the sport itself and practices it will also be subject to another fascination: Enjoy the game in the most beautiful places in the world! The idea of swinging your bat over the rooftops of New York City will make some smile. Because that would be the tee of his life for every golfer!
Admittedly, if you think this thought a little further, it quickly becomes clear how dangerous this action would be. But the nice thing about surrealism is that you can simply ignore this aspect and concentrate exclusively on the beautiful sides for the work of art. And there are quite a few of them! Standing above the rooftops of New York, enjoying the view over the city, perceiving life far below you by means of the smells and noises and yet being so far away from it – there is something about that, right? And then to make a discount in this atmosphere simply puts the crown on the dream!
Golf is also an art!
Frank Krüger and his wife Laura have played golf themselves and therefore know about the fascination of the sport. So it’s no wonder that Frank has chosen a perfect pose for the player that tells exactly what happened in the seconds before. Viewed as a whole, this is of course only a small detail – but it is precisely the details that make a work of art like this so special!
In any case, we are sure that golf and art, surrealism in particular, go together perfectly! Both appeal to people who like to enjoy life to the fullest, but also have a sense for the details and small things!
