Huge hamburgers and soft toilets - with alien replicas of the consumer world and environments, Claes Oldenburg became a key figure of pop art. Today, his landscape art and monumental sculptures are modern monuments that made American object artist known far beyond the art scene. Gerald Fox accompanied Oldenburg in 1995 when building one of these large projects and preparing his anthology retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum. Artists such as Roy Lichtenstein give insight into the world of a versatile artist who transforms everyday objects into sensual ironic works of art. Bonus material: picture gallery; trailer
