An exhibit of new Claes Oldenberg and Coosje van Bruggen will end this Sunday at the Pace Wildenstein gallery in New York. The exhibit is entitled, "The Music Room", and features a series of sculptures of musical instruments in different states of disrepair. The exhibit also includes some sketches and paintings that acted as precursors to the sculptures.
Oldenberg and Van Bruggen are long time collaborators(They are also married.), and our probaly best known for the giant sculptures of everyday objects including clothespins, trowels, and the monster of all shuttlecocks.
This from the Pace Wildenstein website:
"The artistic team of Oldenburg and van Bruggen has, to date, executed more than 40 permanently sited sculptures in architectural scale throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan."
