Like most of these works, Dubuffet conceived the Jardin d'émail without a precise destination, not envisaging its enlargement, using his imagination sufficed. The project to build the sculpture in the Kroller Moller museum's large garden made him realise the model's status but above all it was the occasion for Dubuffet to instigate " a sort of permanant confrontation between the houloupian nature and the surrounding nature: an artificial garden in a garden of real trees and real lawns."
