Rotterdam Gallery Recreates Peanut Butter Floor to Honor Wim Schippers
In Rotterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen resurrects Wim T. Schippers’ avant‑garde Peanut Butter Floor by spreading about 800 pounds of smooth peanut butter across the gallery floor, following his exact instruction of 15.6 kg per square metre and keeping the surface undisturbed and non-educational; the installation, created after his death at 83, sits among notes Schippers left and will be on view until early September, with peanut butter sandwiches on the cafe menu and peanut butter sold in the shop as part of the homage.
