Glueckman and Laimanee repurposed a retired flower vending machine and used it to vend small sculptures:

Glueckman and Laimanee had operated more traditional art galleries before, but discovered that this left them with no time to create their own art. With the Blumenautomat Gallery, they had “the only European gallery open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.”
