Celebrate the Moon Landing’s 50th Anniversary With Moon-Look Tile
With the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing this year, Why Tile is celebrating this monumental event in conjunction with ceramic tile.
A ceramic tile is believed to be the first piece of art that traveled to the moon. Artists Forrest Myers, Andy Warhol, David Novros, Claes Oldenburg, John Chamberlain, and Robert Rauschenberg collaborated to create a series of tiny tiles using drawings from each of the artists. Myers claims one of these tiles was secretly attached to the next spacecraft headed for the moon (Apollo 12), where astronauts left it behind along with other personal effects.
