An artist in Indonesia has turned one of the most iconic cars ever produced into a giant ball. The aptly-named Beetle Sphere is the latest sculpture from Ichwan Noor, a Jakarta-based artist who molds cars into three-dimensional spheres and cubes. With Beetle Sphere, Noor chose a yellow 1953 Volkswagen Beetle as his subject matter, combining it with polyester and aluminum materials to create a giant sphere.
Noor has already molded five Beetle Spheres using this technique, and exhibited one of them at this month's Art Basel Hong Kong. According to the Japan Times , it sold for $88,000 shortly after the show opened. For more images of Noor's collection, including some of his anatomical works, click here.
