    Pop Art meets Cologne

    I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream: Since 2001, the "Dropped Cone" has adorned the roof of the shopping gallery at Neumarkt. The sculpture by the Pop Art artist couple Coosje van Bruggen and Claes Oldenburg was inspired by the advertising signs of the surrounding ice cream parlours and refers in its modified form to the transience of consumption. The artwork thus intervenes in the immediate surroundings and comments humorously on one of the central traffic and shopping junctions in Cologne's city centre. In the same way, the crooked tip of the ice cream cone blends into the city skyline with its many straight church towers.
