A famous statue of Popeye at Wynn Las Vegas is about to set sail for Encore Boston Harbor, so catch it while you can, matey.<\/p>\n

Or whatever.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Popeye statue, made by renowned sculptor Jeff Koons, will reportedly be packed up in the early morning hours of June 4, 2019.<\/p>\n

\"Wynn
Sun’s out, guns out, or whatever the kids are saying now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The statue will be in place at Encore Boston Harbor in time for its opening on June 23, if all goes according to plan.<\/p>\n

The Popeye stands in front of the Wynn Theater, not far from the self-parking garage, which is free again<\/a>, so you have no excuse to not visit the resort before Popeye’s departure.<\/p>\n

\"Wynn
Popeye is incarnated with Brancusian reflectivity in the artist’s signature material: Stainless steel. Which we totally didn’t steal from the Sotheby’s Web site<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Popeye statue has a long and storied history we didn’t have time to research.<\/p>\n

We do know it was purchased for $28,165,000 in 2014. It’s rumored Wynn Resorts turned down an offer of $60 million for the statue at one point.<\/p>\n

If you’re an art person, don’t fret that Popeye won’t be at Wynn much longer. You can pop into the Wynn Plaza<\/a> and snap a selfie with another impressive piece of art, Smiling King Bear by Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel.<\/p>\n

\"Wynn
Our photography is occasionally fleek.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Please take care of our Popeye statue, Encore Boston Harbor. We sort of want it back, eventually.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
