OY YO Snow Globe by Deborah Kass

Sculpture by New York artist Deborah Kass

Our interpretation of the original bright yellow aluminum statue is creative wordplay using just two letters with several meanings. One side says "YO," referencing the attention-getting phrase used throughout the world, as well as "OY," a popular Yiddish phrase used in Jewish and American culture. 

"I created OY/YO thinking about the American promise of equality and fairness and our responsibilities to make the country a better place for all," says Kass. "It's urgent to see our commonalities, what we share, and what brings us together."

Care of Globes

Keep your globe out of direct sunlight. Sunlight shining through the water acts as a magnifier and can cause a fire.  Sunlight can also cause the water to discolor. Dust with a soft cloth. Glass cleaner is fine on the globe.

CoolSnowGlobes are made of glass and are not toys for children.

The liquid in the globes is purified water with glycol added to prevent freezing. Anti-bacterial is also added to keep the liquid clear. While the liquid in the globe is safe for humans externally, it should not be ingested!
