Claes Oldenburg's commitment to familiar objects has shaped
accounts of his career, but his associations with Pop art and
postwar consumerism have overshadowed another crucial aspect of his
work. In this revealing reassessment, Katherine Smith traces
Oldenburg's profound responses to shifting urban conditions,
framing his enduring relationship with the city as a critical
perspective and conceiving his art as urban theory. Smith argues
that Oldenburg adapted lessons of context, gleaned from New York's
changing cityscape in the late 1950s, to large-scale objects and
architectural plans. By examining disparate projects from New York
to Los Angeles, she situates Oldenburg's innovations in local
geographies and national debates. In doing so, Smith illuminates
patterns of urbanization through the important contributions of one
of the leading artists in the United States.
