Antiques - Art - Ceramics - Murals - Paint

Nov. 11, 1977 - Claes Oldenburg is an artist who loves to make is question reality. One of his pet projects is a giant hot and cold tap at one of Stockholm's bridges. True to his philosophy that it is the shape that is essential, no matter what it is supposed to be - a cathedral or a clothes pin, he has erected a thirty metres high baseball bat in the centre of Chicago. Something that started hot discussions in USA. I make symbols of my contemporary world - the result that i get is an illusion of life. Comic, ironic or absurd, says Oldenburg
