| dc.description | "Typewriter Eraser, Scale X", 1999 (by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen; American, born 1929, Sweden / American, born 1942, The Netherlands); Designed to offer year-round enjoyment to the public in one of the preeminent locations on the National Mall, the National Gallery Sculpture Garden includes seventeen works from the Gallery's growing collection as well as loans for special exhibitions. Located in the 6.1-acre block adjacent to the West Building, the elegant yet informal Garden includes new plantings of native American species of canopy trees, flowering trees, shrubs, ground covers, and perennials. A fountain, which serves as an ice rink in winter, is at the center of the Garden, and walking and seating areas offer visitors a chance to rest and reflect on the works on view. The design for the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden was created by Laurie D. Olin, landscape architect.
