Profiterole; and Profiterole-Gray State
Claes Oldenburg, a leading figure of the Pop Art movement, presents his signature wit and playful celebration of everyday objects in these two lithographs depicting the humble profiterole. With characteristic humor, Oldenburg elevates the unassuming cream puff pastry to the realm of fine art, rendering it in both color and gray-scale states to explore the sculptural and graphic qualities of this beloved confection. Published by the prestigious Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles, these limited edition works — numbered 29/57 and 29/58 from editions that included 12 artist's proofs — bear the publisher's blindstamp and are signed in pencil by the artist, underscoring their collectible significance.
