GFP in Fine Art
Julian Voss-Andreae, a German-born artist specializing in "protein sculptures," created sculptures based on the structure of GFP, including the 5'6" (1.70 m) tall "Green Fluorescent Protein" (2004) and the 4'7" (1.40 m) tall "Steel Jellyfish" (2006). The latter sculpture is located at the place of GFP's discovery by Shimomura in 1962, the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories.

Famous quotes containing the words fine art, fine and/or art:
“Fine art, poetry, that kind of thing, elevates a nation ...”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“It is painful to be told that anything is very fine and not be able to feel that it is fine—something like being blind, while people talk of the sky.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Our art is the finest, the noblest, the most suggestive, for it is the synthesis of all the arts. Sculpture, painting, literature, elocution, architecture, and music are its natural tools. But while it needs all of those artistic manifestations in order to be its whole self, it asks of its priest or priestess one indispensable virtue: “faith.””
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
