Stokstad:<br/>Oldenburg’s humor is much evident in this large-scale public work at his alma mater, Yale University. Oldenburg created this sculpture at the invitation of a group of architecture graduate students - who requested a  monument to the “Second American Revolution” of the late 1960s, marked by student demonstrations against the Vietnam War. The lipstick tube, mounted on Caterpillar tractor tracks, suggests a grounded missile and subverts the warlike reference by casting the missile in a cosmetic, feminine form. Oldenburg also addresses sexual and military potency and gives the lipstick a balloon-like vinyl tip which is meant to deflate slowly after it is pumped with air.</p>http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50658411063http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50658411063Fri, 17 May 2013 09:19:00 -0700Lipstick Ascending on Caterpillar TracksClaes OldenburgArtArt History20th century arttwentieth century artsculptureClaes Oldenburg, Soft Light Switches, c. 1960<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/21d2d6effa00ed098aef14fbfab0e0ea/tumblr_mmyacicyc21r5z0wko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Claes Oldenburg, <em>Soft Light Switches,</em> c. 1960</p>http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50658029801http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50658029801Fri, 17 May 2013 09:12:18 -0700Soft Light SwitchesClaes OldenburgArtArt History20th century arttwentieth century artsculptureClaes Oldenburg, Spoonbridge and Cherry, 1966<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/31ae8acacca07c70b91e823b990f176d/tumblr_mmya8ta2HF1r5z0wko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Claes Oldenburg, Spoonbridge and Cherry, 1966</p>http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50657917183http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50657917183Fri, 17 May 2013 09:10:05 -0700Spoonbridge and CherryClaes OldenburgArtArt History20th century arttwentieth century artsculptureClaes Oldenburg, Strong Arm, 1961<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/43b1c45301ab7eb25c028abf922db4ab/tumblr_mmya65XX4q1r5z0wko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Claes Oldenburg, <em>Strong Arm</em>, 1961</p>http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50657839668http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50657839668Fri, 17 May 2013 09:08:29 -0700Strong ArmClaes OldenburgArtArt History20th century arttwentieth century artsculptureClaes Oldenburg, Trowel, c. 1970<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/67f686df0a8d3bef549675e5cb063c53/tumblr_mmya3zWVzS1r5z0wko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Claes Oldenburg, <em>Trowel</em>, c. 1970</p>http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50657772764http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50657772764Fri, 17 May 2013 09:07:11 -0700TrowelClaes OldenburgArtArt History20th century arttwentieth century artsculptureClaes Oldenburg, Typewriter Eraser, 1976<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b0780878ebdf02a858e0d4b567144a3f/tumblr_mmya12IgOe1r5z0wko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Claes Oldenburg, <em>Typewriter Eraser</em>, 1976</p>http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50657686523http://artaddictsanonymous.tumblr.com/post/50657686523Fri, 17 May 2013 09:05:26 -0700Typewriter EraserClaes OldenburgArtArt History20th century arttwentieth century artsculptureI'm looking for a poster (or even better a replica) of Kathe Kollwitz's "Tower of Mothers."
