Born in Sweden in 1929, Claes Oldenburg is known as one of the great American Pop artists and creator of sculptures and monuments, Karen Rosenberg writes. The two exhibitions at the Whitney Museum, “Claes Oldenburg: Early Sculpture, Drawings, and Happenings Films” and “Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen: The Music Room,” lean heavily on the museum’s sizable collection of works by Oldenburg and Van Bruggen."The radicalism of Mr. Oldenburg’s sculpture, real and imagined, has a lot to do with context and scale."

Oldenburg's work definitely was one to catch my attention as a I was reading the New York Times. His pieces were so interesting to see things we normally see every day made into such large pieces and overly exaggerated is always interesting.
