Claes Oldenburg




Oldenburg is renowned for his sculptures of mundane, everyday objects, and has displayed them around the world. Some of these sculptures have interactive capabilities, creating more interest for the viewer. The style of the sculptures meant they were often associated with the Pop Art movement, as they were seen as fun, bright and were a popular addition to the environment.

the bottom sculpture is similar to a sculpture from an exhibition i posted about recently called beyond limits! the house of knowledge sculpture is constructed in much the same way!

I've had a look and your right the construction is very similar. It must have taken such a long time to create, particularly as both designs are curved.
