Dropped Cone (collaboration with van Bruggen) 2001

Claes Oldenburg's "Dropped Cone" (2001) is a playful and monumental sculpture that depicts an oversized ice cream cone seemingly falling onto a building. Known for his Pop Art style, Oldenburg often transformed everyday objects into large-scale works, highlighting the absurdity and humor of consumer culture. "Dropped Cone" is a prime example of this, referencing both the familiar treat and the unexpectedness of its placement, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between art, everyday life, and the urban environment.
