Peanut Butter Art Returns for Wim Schippers

Rotterdam’s Boijmans van Beuningen Museum is reviving Wim T. Schippers’ legendary peanut butter floor installation—a playful, messy tribute to the late artist, known for his humor and philosophy that art should provoke thought without heaviness. First created in 1969 and restored in 2010, the piece required three days of spreading hundreds of kilograms of smooth peanut butter. The museum, mourning his unique perspective and wit, is now crafting a new version with his guidance—no chunks, perfectly spreadable—and plans to unveil it soon. Schippers, also famous for voicing Sesame Street characters, believed each iteration should be subtly different, keeping his spirit alive through whimsy and wonder.
