Dreamboat Limited-Edition Levitating Sculpture

by colbert low on October 31st, 2005

Paying USD 90,000 for a piece of aluminum, magnets, and mahogany might seem ridiculous but this online store is one that could be making good sales on this crazy thing. The Dreamboat Levitating Sculpture
floats on the crest of an invisible magnetic wave, moving slightly with ambient air currents but never losing altitude—even when a hand is passed beneath it.

The magnetic levitation system, invented by sculptor and installation artist Tom Shannon, utilizes safe, permanent magnets that never lose their strength, so the piece hovers indefinitely until it is physically moved. The artist’s works have been exhibited internationally since, at age 22, an early piece was selected for the Museum of Modern Arts’ landmark 1969 exhibition, “The Machine.”

2 versions are available. The Dreamboat Limited-Edition Levitating Sculpture, 16” for $18,000.00 and Dreamboat Grande Limited-Edition Levitating Sculpture, 6′ for the ultimate price of $90,000.00
