OY YO Snowglobe - Artist Series - Deborah Kass Our interpretation of the original bright yellow aluminum statue is creative wordplay using just two letters with several meanings. One side says "YO," referencing the attention-getting phrase used throughout the world, as well as "OY," a popular Yiddish phrase used in Jewish and American culture. "I created YO/OY thinking about the American promise of equality and fairness and our responsibilities to make the country a better place for all," says Kass. "It's urgent to see our commonalities, what we share, and what brings us together." Glass globe on our Iconic Square Black Base Keep your globe out of direct sunlight. Sunlight shining through the water is a magnifier and can cause a fire. Sunlight can also cause the water to discolor. Dust with a soft cloth. Glass cleaner is fine on the globe.
