System of Iconography - Plug, Mouse, Good Humor, Lipstick, Switches (A. & P. 75)
Created by Claes Oldenburg, this offset lithograph presents a playful catalogue of everyday consumer objects and symbols rendered in bold, simplified forms characteristic of Pop Art's engagement with mass culture. The work juxtaposes mundane items such as electrical plugs, computer mice, and cosmetic products alongside commercial signage, inviting viewers to reconsider the visual language of contemporary commerce and consumption. Printed on fine Arches paper with generous margins, the work exemplifies Oldenburg's practice of elevating ordinary manufactured goods and graphic design elements to the status of fine art subjects.
