Shuttlecock sculptures are large, artistic representations of the traditional shuttlecock, a projectile used in the sport of badminton. These sculptures often feature exaggerated designs, showcasing the feathered top and cork base in a playful and creative manner. They are typically made from materials like fiberglass or metal and can be found in various public spaces, parks, and art installations. One of the most famous examples is the Shuttlecocks installation at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. Created by artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, these oversized sculptures stand over 18 feet tall and serve as a whimsical tribute to both art and sport, inviting viewers to appreciate their unique form and design.
