Dropped Bowl with Scattered Slices and Peels

Dropped Bowl with Scattered Slices and Peels is a monumental public sculpture in Downtown Miami by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, the celebrated duo known for transforming everyday objects into giant, playful outdoor works. This piece — a massive fruit bowl mid-spill — brings the duo's signature wit and sense of scale to Miami's civic landscape. Located near the Miami-Dade County courthouse plaza, the sculpture has become a beloved local landmark and a favorite photo subject. It's a perfect example of how great public art can make a city more joyful and surprising, inviting you to see the familiar world at an entirely different scale.
