Coen Wilderom (Bloemendaal, 1944 – Bergen, 1999) was an architect and sculptor. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. From the 1960s onwards, he began working in three-dimensional spaces, drawing particular inspiration from constructivism. He often created sculptures that are not recognizable as art, but rather as objects that define one's position. They serve as beacons in space, intended to indicate a direction of view within the urban environment. In the 1980s, he was involved as an artist in a city plan for Bergen aan Zee, which was ultimately not implemented. Together with Wim van der Horst, he carried out commissions as part of the Dapperbuurt project and the Agniesebuurt project (1981–1984).
