The Kiss, Stainless steel sculpture at Anton de Komplein in Bijlmermeer, Netherlands

The Kiss sculpture consists of three interconnected metal parts forming two figures in an embrace, reaching 23 meters into the Amsterdam sky.

Created by artist Jeroen Henneman in 1982, the sculpture was temporarily removed for three years before being reinstalled at its current location in 2020.

The geometric lines and minimalist design of the sculpture reflect the Dutch approach to public art, emphasizing clean forms and spatial relationships.

The sculpture stands at coordinates 52.314722, 4.958333 and weighs 16,000 kilos, making it a substantial landmark visible from multiple angles in the area.

Henneman developed the concept after creating a spider web from silver wire during his visit to Mexico in 1972, transforming it into this monumental piece.
