Claes Oldenburg:
He was originally from Sweden but his art became extremely popular
Claes moved to the United States from Sweden and attended Yale Unin the United States because of its originality and pop art type of “soft sculpture”. He is well known for his giant sculptures based off real life objects. I was intrigued by a specific sculpture of a stamp that said FREE on it. Apparently there are many peop
le that are huge fans of this piece of Claes’s.
iversity but soon left and transferred to the Art Institute of Chicago.
I found the picture of the spoon and cherry intriguing because of the enormity and the creativity. I have literally never seen a spoon that size. It is almost like he is trying to break some guinness world records with the si
zes of his sculptures.
The bitten apple is appealing to me because of the texture of it and what it seems to be made of what looks like p
aper machet. I think it is just random that he thought to make a dried up bitten apple.
The bike wheel is interesting because it see
ms to be coming out of the ground. It looks like an old wheel that has been overgrown with grass. It almost looks like its made to be a childrens playtoy.
