Yay edwardd1, you have to be right. He was the "Pop Art" master wasn't he, and one of the creators of "happenings", this is just what what he would have come up with.

Wonder if it is made from papier-mâché?

Saw one of his and his late wife's works in Cologne many years ago, it was a giant ice cream cone stuck on the roof of a building, vanilla flavor of course. Must admit thought it very strange in the beginning, but when one read what he was trying to achieve it started to make sense.

Image that was what Pop Art was all about, thinking out of the box.

Wonder what a hamburger would have represented....hmmm.

Avatar: HOHENZOLLERNBRÃœCKE Cologne with CATHEDRAL and LUDWIG MUSEUM. The Bridge a symbol of how Germany was rebuilt after WWII, it was left in ruins, the Cathedral with roots in the 13th century represents the country's history, Museum of Modern Art the present day.

Correct All!

The artist of this large hamburger is Pop Artist Claes Oldenburg.

As for his reason? This might be an instance when it is better to take it literally, versus figuratively.
