A Bottle of Notes and some yoyages. Drawings, sculptures, and large-scale projec
Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - No other major sculptor of our time has revealed the hidden potencies of everyday objects with such penetrating aptness, quick-wittedness and daring as Claes Oldenburg. He has seen in Giant Ice-Bag the dome of the United States Capitol, and contrived a huge Lipstick Ascending on Caterpillar Tracks as a platform for student speeches (the speaker mounting the tracks and pumping up the stick to get attention, the stick sinking down after the speech), and a Cemetery in the Shape of a Colossal Screw Skyscraper, intended for Sâo Paolo, which, as it is filled with coffins, screws into the earth until only the head projects above ground as a memorial. The associations are remarkable because the artist makes crucial leaps from everyday objects to extraordinary images bypassing the obvious. ISBN 0847809463.
