America's financial calamities during the past few years, not unlike the Tulip craze in 17th century Holland has been referred to as a time of "Irrational Exuberance." My sculpture is a depiction of a true story from the height of the "Mania" when a house was exchanged for 3 tulip bulbs. These occurrences led up to the "Great Tulip Crash" of 1637.
