The Drop

The Drop is a striking steel sculpture in the shape of a raindrop, created by the German art collective Inges Idee. Located in Bon Voyage Plaza in the Coal Harbour district of downtown Vancouver, this 65-foot (20 m) tall artwork is covered with Styrofoam and coated in blue polyurethane. Inges Idee describes the sculpture as "a tribute to the force of nature," symbolizing our connection to and perspective of the surrounding water. Commissioned as part of the 2009 Vancouver Convention Centre Art Project, The Drop is owned by BC Pavco.
