Claes Oldenburg

Apple Core - Winter

A monumental apple core, rendered in Oldenburg's signature Pop Art style, dominates the composition with bold, graphic lines and vibrant colors set against the dramatic black Arches paper. The mundane, discarded object is transformed into a heroic and playful sculptural form, blurring the boundary between the ordinary and the monumental. Oldenburg's lithograph celebrates the beauty of the everyday, infusing a simple piece of refuse with wit, scale, and unexpected elegance.

Medium
Lithograph in colors, on Arches Cover Black paper, with full margins.
