I came across the permanent installation Giant Pool Balls while cycling across the lush terrain around Lake Aasee. Giant Pool Balls , which consists of three huge billiard balls, was created in 1977 by the American pop artist Claes Oldenburg as part of the first sculpture projects in Münster. Alluding to the city’s war history (there is a cannonball stuck in the city wall about 100 meters away) and the citizenry’s love of hot air balloons, Oldenburg transformed Münster into a billiard table. Although the balls are immobile and have a circumference of 3.5 meters, they nevertheless convey a sense of movement. After several visits to points of interest in Münster, Oldenburg began thinking about a subject in separate parts, which together would form a whole. He had seen the cannonball embedded in an ancient wall in Münster and was also aware of the bombing attack on the city during World War II. The ball became the link he was looking for. The balls for Giant Pool Balls were cast in concrete, in halves that were joined at the site. Oldenburg chose not to paint the sculpture. Soon after the installation, citizens began covering the balls with images and graffiti, so the sculpture has become a kind of message center, like a notice board, as well as a perch for watching rock concerts. Giant Pool Balls had become undoubtedly a landmark of Münster. Giant Pool Balls Giant Pool Balls by Claes Oldenburg 5 10 15
