The Kiss, Stainless steel sculpture at Anton de Komplein in Bijlmermeer, Netherlands
The Kiss is a stainless steel sculpture in Amsterdam's Bijlmermeer neighborhood consisting of three interconnected metal parts that form two embracing figures. The structure rises approximately 23 meters high and weighs around 16,000 kilograms.
The sculpture was created by artist Jeroen Henneman in 1982 as an early addition to the neighborhood. After being absent for three years, it was 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 sits in the open plaza at Anton de Komplein and is visible from multiple angles. You can visit at any time of day and view it from different vantage points around the space.
Henneman developed the concept after visiting Mexico, where he created a spider web from silver wire. This idea was later transformed into this monumental steel work.
