About this video...
Claes Oldenburg's over-scaled sculptures based on food and other domestic items brought him to prominence in the 1960s as one of the foremost exponents of the Pop Art movement. Oldenburg, who was born in Sweden and raised in the United States, has since 1977 collaborated with his wife, Coosje van Bruggen, on a series of large-scale projects. The program takes viewers to the artist's New York studio, the Guggenheim Museum, and Petaluma, California, for the construction of Giant Houseball. Art dealers, art critics, and contemporaries Jim Dine and Roy Lichtenstein discuss the man and his art. The full range of Oldenburg's work is covered: from his soft sculptures, such as Giant Ice-Cream Cone and Giant BLT, to his proposals for colossal public monuments, to his accomplished drawings
