Claes Oldenburg's career is dedicated to giving everyday objects a new life through art. He finds inspiration in the world around him, transforming mundane tools into large-scale sculptures that demand the viewer's attention. Oldenburg's work is a staple of the pop art movement, which he infuses with a sense of absurdity and playfulness. He begins each commission by creating a small-scale model, often drawing inspiration from his hometown of Chicago.
