DescriptionImage of a diorama depicting Harold Edgerton's "Milk Drop Coronet" where a splash is created by a drop of milk against a red surface. A tiny drop of the "milk" is shown hanging above by a thin string. The diorama is clamped to a flat surface and below we can see debris (cans, foil, buckets) used in its creation.ProvenancePurchased from Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery, New York, NY by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, 2018.
