Mao Zedong's sunflower seeds

Featured in the main hall of the Tate Modern, this work was astounding. I watched a video of the making of all the seeds and it's legitimate. You hardly think they'd make it up in any case but its another thing seeing the whole process and all the Chinese people literally bent over tables painting them all. 

Here's the video on the making of the work, its very interesting:

I recorded a video of me answering a question in the interactive section and will put the link up when it has been uploaded to the Tate website.
