20. Coosje Van Bruggen

Coosje van Bruggen was a sculptor who collaborated a lot with her husband Claes Oldenburg, who is a well-known sculptor from as well. Van Bruggen’s sculptures consist of monumental size objects that are usually every day items and are then placed outside. Some of these objects consist of a bowling ball with flying pins, a birdie (Badmitton), a safty pin, and a necktie; just to name a few. Her sculptors that she creates are mainly there for view pleasure and have a fun quality to them. She does a wonderful job at executing such giant pieces of work. Her works makes the view see this objects in a different light.

I think her work is great. I love the playful aspect of it and the how accurately they are done just on a much larger scale. I appreciate the fact that she places them outside because it seems so unexpected that anyone would see these objects at such a large scale on display out if nature. Her work is really amazing and I think she makes people who pass by her works put on a smile.
