''The Great Double'' is a bronze sculpture by the Argentine artist Alicia Penalba (1913-1982). One statue named ''Le Grand Double'' (1962-1964) is on display in the sculpture garden of the Dutch Kröller-Müller Museum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kmm.nl/object/KM%20118.679/Large-double?artist=Alicia%20Penalba%20%281918%20-%201982%29&characteristic=&characteristic_type=&van=0&tot=0&start=0&fromsearch=1 )〕 Another (1972) is on display outside the MGIC building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. ==Description== ''The Great Double'' measures 28 feet high and weighs 12 tons.〔Buck, Diane M. and Virginia A. Palmer (1995). ''Outdoor Sculpture in Milwaukee: A Cultural and Historical Guidebook'', p. 29. The State Historical Society of Wisconsin, Madison〕 The sculpture was produced by the Tesconi & C. Fonderia D'Arte S.N.C located in Pietrasanta, Italy. ''The Great Double'' resembles an organic form. It is made up of many different round and rectangular forms, and has a surface that somewhat resembles bark. The one on display in Milwaukee stands between the MGIC building and a small park, as if to be a stepping stone; it merges the organic and the man-made. ''The Great Double'' is truly a monumental sculpture. Standing vertically at 840 cm (over two stories)it challenges the surrounding trees within its proximity for dominance, as well as the MGIC building, to which it is adjacent. One must position him/herself several feet away in order to take the whole object in at once.
