Claes Oldenburg was inspired by the burgeoning consumer culture of the 1960s, particularly the proliferation of everyday objects and advertisements. He sought to challenge traditional notions of art by transforming mundane items into large-scale sculptures, highlighting their significance in modern life. Additionally, his interest in the tactile and sensory aspects of these objects encouraged a playful engagement with art, blurring the lines between high art and popular culture. Oldenburg's work reflects a satire of consumerism while simultaneously celebrating the beauty found in the ordinary.
