Title: Day and Night in the Life of a Cow Location: Crown Center Artist: Gary Keshner and Company Sponsor: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City An extraordinary work of art, Day and Night in the life of a Cow is undoubtedly one of the best pieces in CowParade Kansas City. “The simple beauty of the Kansas City skyline silhouetted against big sky, fields of corn, milo, soybeans and hay, has always intrigued me,” says artist Gary Keshner. He chose the theme of historical connection; the inseparable cowtown rising out of the prairie; the meeting of east and west; the marriage of urban and rural. A scene that moves from day into night representing “time” passing. The artist used colorful, vibrant glass aggregate chips to create his cow. “I am hoping that with this material, the light of a particular day or night will be captured and reflected back toward the viewer. This will offer him, or her, a visually simple and playful, yet at the same time, a thought provoking experience.”				This cow was sold in the internet auction hosted by Amazon.com that began on October 5, 2001, immediately following the close of the live auction and ran for approximately three weeks.
