Colossal Sculptures of Everyday Objects

If anyone would ask me about an impressive sculptor, without a doubt, i would say Claes Oldenburg. He was born in Sweeden,1929, but he moved to United States when he was a child. He finished his education in America and later he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. The main thing that makes him special is that he does huge replicas of everyday objects for public art. Sometimes these sculptures have interactive capabilities, too. In the 1960’s, he began to be interested in Pop Art and attended many events which were performance art related productions of that time.
