The Drop, Steel sculpture at Bon Voyage Plaza in Coal Harbour, Vancouver, Canada

The Drop is a steel sculpture at Bon Voyage Plaza in Coal Harbour standing about 65 feet tall, built with a steel frame covered in foam and blue polyurethane. Its form captures the shape of a water droplet at the instant it makes contact with a surface.

The Drop was commissioned as part of the 2009 Vancouver Convention Centre Art Project and is owned by BC Pavco. It marked the first North American project for Inges Idee, a group of four German artists. The sculpture was installed in 2009 at Bon Voyage Plaza and was temporarily removed during the 2010 Winter Olympics because it blocked television camera views.

The blue steel form echoes Vancouver's connection to water and rainfall, themes that residents and visitors notice throughout the year in this wet climate.

The sculpture sits at the end of Burrard Street along the waterfront and can be seen from multiple vantage points. You can view it from the seawalk, the Convention Centre area, or from boats traveling on Burrard Inlet.

The sculpture was temporarily removed during the 2010 Winter Olympics because its position blocked television camera views of athletic competitions. This brief disappearance remains an unusual chapter in the artwork's story.
