Time Out says Posted: Sun May 19 2013 Now 84, Pop artist Claes Oldenburg is best known for his drooping, soft sculptures of telephones, toilets and other household fixtures, and for the cheerfully absurdist, gargantuan versions of small objects—lipsticks, clothespins and the like—made in collaboration with his late wife, Coosje van Bruggen, for various outdoor locations around the world.

As for where these works came from conceptually, the answer may lie in MoMA’s lively presentation of Oldenburg’s early projects. Together, The Street and The Store represent the artist’s first forays into full-scale installation, in the early 1960s. Mouse Museum/Ray Gun Wing, installed in the museum’s atrium, was created over a 12-year period, between the mid-1960s and the late 1970s, and comprises a collection of altered and unaltered readymades, cast-off objects and artworks housed in side-by-side enclosed structures designed by the artist.
