Miniature Soft Drum Set (S. 1969.06, P. 12, A. & P. 61)

Claes Oldenburg's 'Miniature Soft Drum Set' is a rare complete multiple from 1969 combining screenprint on canvas with assembled found objects and a custom presentation box. This work exemplifies Oldenburg's pop art approach to transforming everyday objects into art through recontextualization and whimsy.

Medium: The rare complete set of the screenprint on canvas, wash-line, wood and spray painted multiple, with accompanying screenprinted wove paper-covered wood base (as issued), with accompanying title page and plastic snap button bag, all contained in the original plywood dovetail presentation box with printed artist's name, title and publisher.
