Folder with PR materials and articles related to Michael Lin (1964). In the summer of 2002 the artist was invited to create a monumental floor of painted tulips (measuring 1100 m2) in City Hall of The Hague, a building by the architect Richard Meier. The tulip floor consisted of 380 panels made of wood, which Lin painted by hand with the assistance of students and professional artists from The Hague. In his work Michael Lin uses traditional motifs found on pillows and bedspreads from the recent past which are given to girls as part of their dowry. For his floor in The Hague he selected a tulip motif, which - blown up to 80 times its size - he introduced as a ‘Made in Taiwan' floor.
