The world’s biggest Van Gogh sunflower painting is situated in Morton Park, Emerald.
The superstructure is 25 metres high with approximately 13.6 tonnes of steel involved in its construction. It is part of a concept by Cameron Cross to erect seven Sunflower sculptures in seven different countries, reproducing Van Gogh’s seven different Sunflower paintings. Emerald’s Sunflower Painting was finished on 8 November 1999.
The painting celebrates the Central Highlands’ past as a major sunflower producer.
