Cojones III 2006

"Cojones III" is a 2006 sculpture by Barton Lidice Benes, known for his unique and often humorous use of found objects. This particular piece is constructed entirely from crayon stubs, meticulously arranged to form a perfect sphere. The vibrant, colorful array of crayons creates a striking visual contrast against the white background, hinting at the artist's playful exploration of everyday materials. The title itself, Spanish for "balls," suggests Benes' characteristically irreverent approach to art, prompting viewers to reconsider the potential beauty and artistic value of overlooked objects.
