Biking in Amsterdam

There are more bicycles than people in the Netherlands. I own three of them for different purposes (and I am no exception).

 

Kiefer uses little notebooks for thoughts and ideas. On this page, he mentions a stay at Hotel de l'Europe in Amsterdam. A life-size sculpture (not a real bicycle) is mounted on a blow-up photo of 1.90 x 2.80 meters.

 

The people of Amsterdam have a reputation for being the most rude and daring in traffic, so maybe that inspired Kiefer. But he likes the calm pace too. It's a good way to explore the huge amount of art in stock and to bridge distances in his gigantic workplace in Paris.
