Claes Oldenburg chooses everyday objects for his art to challenge traditional notions of value and aesthetics in sculpture. By transforming mundane items into large-scale, soft sculptures, he invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with common objects and consumer culture. His works often blend humor and irony, making the familiar feel strange and encouraging a deeper reflection on the significance of the ordinary in contemporary life. Ultimately, Oldenburg's choice of subjects emphasizes the beauty and complexity found in the simplicity of everyday experiences.
All his sculptures are enlarged versions of everyday things.
