Standing mitt with ball in Greenwich site – back view
A large baseball mitt cradling a ball is rendered in Claes Oldenburg's characteristically playful and monumental vision, depicted here from behind in crayon and watercolor on paper. The soft, rounded forms of the oversized glove are brought to life through loose, expressive linework and fluid washes of color, reflecting Oldenburg's fascination with transforming everyday objects into grand sculptural statements. This drawing serves as a study for a proposed public installation, capturing the artist's enduring interest in reimagining the familiar on an architectural scale within an urban environment.
