    Comments

    The sculptural work of Pop Art artist Claes Oldenburg is characterised by oversized representations of ordinary objects from the domestic environment, such as spoons, shuttlecocks or tapp. In the 1960s, he created smaller-format works, such as this piece of cake, part of about 200 similar objects that Oldenburg created as a wedding gift for friends in Los Angeles.

    Erläuterungen

    Das skulpturale Werk des Pop Art-Künstlers Claes Oldenburg ist geprägt von übergrossen Darstellungen gewöhnlicher Objekte aus dem häuslichen Umfeld, wie Löffel, Federball oder Wasserhahn. In den sechziger Jahren schuf er kleinformatigere Werke, so das vorliegende Kuchenstück, Teil von ca. 200 gleichartigen Objekten, die Oldenburg als Hochzeitsgeschenk für Freunde in Los Angeles kreierte
