About the Item

This rare first-edition exhibition poster was created for a show of Claes Oldenburg’s sculptures at Leo Castelli Gallery, featuring one of his signature oversized objects—an umbrella rendered as a metal structure. Oldenburg, a leading figure of Pop Art, is known for transforming everyday items into monumental, often surreal forms that challenge perceptions of scale, material, and function. The umbrella, reimagined in rigid metal rather than its usual soft fabric, reflects Oldenburg’s fascination with the tension between playfulness and industrial weight. His sculptures often blur the line between the familiar and the absurd, questioning the role of objects in contemporary culture. Highly sought after, this hard-to-find exhibition poster not only documents a key moment in Oldenburg’s career at Castelli but also embodies his radical approach to form and materiality. A must-have for collectors of Pop Art and 20th-century sculpture. Paper Size: 24 x 17 inches ( 60.96 x 43.18 cm ) Shipping and Handling: We ship Worldwide.
