About

As a Pop artist, Claes Oldenburg celebrates the everyday object with a keen sense of humor. Claes Oldenburg takes a banal object and transforms it into a sculptural form by representing it using radically different materials and scale. Claes Oldenburg is also an extraordinary draftsman and frequently transforms his ideas for monumental outdoor sculptures and landscape reorientations into drawings and prints that are imaginative variants of his ideas about their installation.
