3-D Painting at Stanford Art Museum USA: KBG-32 Answer

Two pictures shown in KBG-32 had more than 300 participants frantically searching for the answer. Even after one week of extended time, we could get only one correct answer. Plus there were few partially correct answers. So what did the pictures show in last edition of Kaun Banega Ghumakkad?

KBG-32 Correct Answer
The pictures depicted a 3-D painting made in 1990 by Frank Philip Stella. The painting titled 'Nightgown' is displayed in The Stanford Museum of Art in California USA. Ghumakkad took this picture in 2014.

The two pictures clearly showed the three dimensional object. But the readers could not fathom it despite Google Lens, reverse image search etc. So much for the power of the Net!

The lone correct answer came from a painter herself A Tejaswini. She lives in Hyderabad and is pursuing her childhood passion of painting even though she holds a PGDM(HR) from a reputed college. So guys, follow your passion. Congratulations Tejaswini. You can sample her work on her FB page Tejas Maestria

We would also like to mention Nandkumar Potti and Jaishankar who both gave partial answers.

Nightgown
It is a mixed media abstract made out of cast aluminium, copper paint on regular polygon canvas with 2D and 3D print techniques using wide range of colours. Frank Stella who is 83, is known for painting, sculpture art, printmaking and architecture.

Sculpture Garden
Talking of sculptures, Stanford Museum has a sculpture garden dedicated to all time great Auguste Rodin
Here are two of his bronze creations displayed there.


The Museum has paintings by many other contemporary artists. Few more pictures for you.


California has many hiking destinations. Ghumakkad had camped there few years ago. You may like to browse the following stories by clicking the links:

Talking of 3-D paintings, India's first 3-D Arts Museum opened in Chennai in 2016. Readers may browse the Better India story for more details. In this museum, every piece of art is complete only when the viewer enters the frame! So next time you are in Chennai, do visit the 3D Arts Museum on East Coast Road.
Postscript: A reader Ravneesh Khurana shared his picture at the Chennai 3D Arts Museum.

Thanks for your participation which keeps KBG alive! Hope we helped you in overcoming the lockdown boredom to some extent.

Stay home, stay safe.
