Des Moines' former giant garden trowel sculpture reappears in Russia

When People Inc. said it had sold a world-record-holding sculpture of a giant garden trowel on its Des Moines corporate campus to an "out-of-state buyer," it may have been a bit of an understatement. People Inc. declined to specify who bought the sculpture, titled "Plantoir," by renowned husband-and-wife artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. "The sale was completed with an out-of-state buyer that made a significant offer for the piece. We agreed to the sale only after offering the piece to local organizations," the company said in a August 2025 statement. The statement did not identify the Iowa institutions it contacted. Now, a little more than a year after the sculpture was removed from the company's lawn in downtown Des Moines' Western Gateway, it is on display more than 5,000 miles away — in Moscow, front and center at GES-2 House of Culture. The remodeled former power plant in the shadow of the Kremlin is home to internationally sanctioned Russian oligarch's arts foundation — a site for "Plantoir" that the daughter of the late Oldenburg and van Bruggen says leaves her "positively appalled."

First bite: East Meets West

👋 Jason here: I was excited when I found out the former Motley School Tavern (MST) space in Beaverdale is now a new Asian-American restaurant. Driving the news: East Meets West Kitchen & Bar opened last week. Catch up quick: Owners and married couple Emily and Chao Lin closed MST in September to evaluate their next steps. Their new restaurant and menu give a nod to American comfort food and to China, where Chao grew up and where the couple met. The garlic-lime shrimp lettuce cups. Photo: Jason Clayworth/Axios On my plate: The garlic-lime shrimp lettuce cups, one of the restaurant's house specialties ($23). The plump, juicy shrimp in a buttery sauce, paired with savory fried rice and crisp, refreshing lettuce for a delicious contrast. The meal started with complimentary crab Rangoon. Zoom in: Other menu options include Korean crispy chicken, pork banh mi, wings, burgers and weekend brunch. Dig in: Lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday and brunch Sunday, 1903 Beaver Ave. in Des Moines.
