World's Biggest Coffee Mosaic... For Now

 
 
In June this year Russian artist Arkadi Kim broke the world record for largest coffee bean mosaic. It took Arkadi and several assistants more than ten days to complete the 30 meter long coffee art which contained over one million beans and weighed around 397 pounds.
 
The piece titled, "The Awakening" was on display in Gorky Park, Moscow where visitors could watch the mosaic go up while drinking coffee and listening to jazz music. Then on July 1st the beans were taken down and sent to a coffee plant for processing. It brings a whole new meaning to "Drinking in Art."

The Awakening is five meters longer than the previous largest coffee mosaic by Albanian Saimir Strati and no one has attempted to make a bigger one so far.
