Untitled is a 1966 glass by Claes Oldenburg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a mix of odd objects arranged on a white background. There’s a wooden box with names like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein written on it. A shiny metal dog lies curled up. A cake with whipped cream sits on a plate. A small mirror reflects a building. A yellow-and-blue square picture shows a sunrise. A pink rubbery thing and a black horn-like object are also there. The cake and the box feel playful, like toys or jokes. The names on the box are all famous artists from the same time period. Look up Claes Oldenburg next to see how he turned everyday things into art.
Claes Oldenburg (January 28, 1929 – July 18, 2022) was a Swedish-born American sculptor best known for his public art installations, typically featuring large replicas of everyday objects.
