  Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen began their artistic collaboration with the Trowel I, sited in the sculpture park of the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, the Netherlands. Since that time, they have made over forty Large-Scale Projects in response to commissions by various cities, towns, and museums around the world.
  
  Ordinary objects are the starting points for independent sculptures on a monumental scale, which create a dynamic interchange with their surroundings and redefine the relation between art and architecture.

  
  
  The artists' choice of subject and treatment is born out of their shared impressions of the works' proposed setting and therefore each sculpture is unique and becomes an emblem of its particular place.
