Often linked to the movements of Conceptual Art and Pop Art, Oldenburg was initially inspired by the theatrical aspects of the happenings conducted by fellow artists Jim Dine and Allan Kaprow – their work provided a refreshing alternative to the dominant abstract expressionism of the time and influenced his own foray into performance art, later guiding his interest and subsequent movement into sculpture, first soft, before becoming more substantial and large-scale.

« I am for the art of underwear and the art of taxicabs. I am for the art of ice cream cones dropped on concrete. »
Claes Oldenburg

Throughout his career, Oldenburg has worked with numerous materials such as fiber glass, burlap, newspaper, chicken wire and plaster-soaked canvas. (Artist website) Read More
