Van Gogh's Ear by Diemut Strebe



Van Gogh's severed ear was 'regrown' from cells of a living relative, the great-great grandson of his brother Theo.  The ear was shaped by bio-artist Diemut Strebe on a 3-D printer and grown at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.  It was shown in June at the Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany, and will be in New York next year.  Thanks to Danny Ayala for showing it to me www.dannyayala.com
