Associated Artists. Art Brokerage specializes in the orignal artwork of Claes Oldenburg. Claes Oldenburg was born January 28, 1929 in Stockholm, Sweden. He is a sculptor, best known for his public art installations typically featuring very large replicas of everyday objects. Another theme in his work is soft sculpture versions of everyday objects.
Oldenburg and his second wife, Coosje van Bruggen, met in 1970 when Oldenburgâs first major retrospective traveled to the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, where van Bruggen was a curator.any of Oldenburg's large-scale sculptures of mundane objects elicited ridicule before being accepted. For example, the 1969 Lipstick (Ascending) on Caterpillar Tracks, was removed from its original place in Beinecke Plaza at Yale University, and circulated on a loan basis to other campuses.
