Kroller Muller Museum 3: Rhodo Riot In The Sculpture Garden

The Kroller Muller is famous also for its sculpture garden--a sculpture forest, really--and certainly more than we could view in an afternoon. The De Loge Veluwe National Park setting was gorgeous, in the Dutch highlands (above sea level), a mixed forest with mature rhododendrons in full bloom everywhere.
Entering the sculpture garden from the museum















Actual mini-hills here and there















Rodin's Femme Accroupie, 1882, was certainly
the oldest item in the collection




















Our favorite, of course, was Emile-Antoine
Bourdelle's La Grande Penelope, 1912 




















Aristide Maillol's L'Aire, 1944















Atop Jean Debuffet's Jardin d'Email, 1974















Rhodo riot















Ditto















Up closer















Henri Etienne-Martin, Demeure 3, 1960















Peter-Paul Pruning-Shears, More Vigorous Growth, 2015















Rhodo-panorama with Vicki, 2015







Evert Strobos, Palisade, 1943















Lucio Fontana, Concetto Spaziale 'Natura" 1960; wait a second,
didn't we see these guys on the beach in New Zealand?

Mario Merz, Igloo di pietra, 1982; I liked this one















Eugene Dodeigne, Homme et Femme, 1963















Cornelius Rogge, Tentenprojects, 1975; one of several in this
display; we have seen things like this in British campgrounds
















A Christo, of course: 56 Barrels, 1968-77



















And then a whole line-up of human heads with
animal horns, the artist's name for which I failed
to get...





















We were having too much fun



















Thus



















The last piece was actually outside the museum,
and we debated whether it was art or part of
the HVAC system: Bertrand Lavier's Prive sure
Mobi
, 1968; why not both?
