Maker of 'Clothespin' sculpture in Philadelphia, pop artist Claes Oldenburg, dies at 93

PHILADELPHIA - Pop artist Claes Oldenburg, who turned the mundane into the monumental through his outsized sculptures of a baseball bat, a clothespin and other objects, has died at age 93.Oldenburg died Monday morning in Manhattan, according to his daughter, Maartje Oldenburg. He had been in poor health since falling and breaking his hip a month ago.The Swedish-born Oldenburg drew on the sculptor’s eternal interest in form, the dadaist’s breakthrough notion of bringing readymade objects into the realm of art, and the pop artist’s ironic, outlaw fascination with lowbrow culture — by reimagining ordinary items in fantastic contexts."I want your senses to become very keen to their surroundings," he told the Los Angeles Times in 1963."When I am served a plate of food, I see shapes and forms, and I sometimes don’t know whether to eat the food or look at it," he said.
