Interesting news, thank you. Oldenburg is a major representative of Pop Art, able to make something extraordinary from the commonplace. He summarized the Pop Art concept as “Art should be literally made of the ordinary world; its space should be our space; its time our time; its objects our ordinary objects; the reality of art will replace reality” (H.H. Arnason, 1998). The whole movement had at least a decade of glamour before the concept was integrated into that broader stream of culture whereby art draws its permanent feature, continuity (C. Greenberg). As to continuity, Pop Art had ancestors: one for all was van Gogh with his “portraits” of worn out boots and of rustic chairs. Oldenburg works invite friendly smiles while works of other movement's icons (i.e. Rauschenberg and Johns) appear dispassionate and impersonal. The show you flagged will enable us to check on this. Thanks again.
