The Lonely Palette

Ep. 49 - Claes Oldenburg's "Giant Toothpaste Tube" (1964)


Listen Later

Somewhere between the life of the mind and the boots on the ground sits Pop artist Claes Oldenburg, who wants us to see not only that both of those worlds are one and the same, but that there's value, and even beauty, to our stuff, and that maybe we can finally let ourselves admit it.
