Claes Oldenburg — The Store; and Stars
Claes Oldenburg

The Store; and Stars

Two iconic works by Claes Oldenburg, pioneering figure of American Pop Art, *The Store* and *Stars* are signed with initials and dated in black crayon and pencil respectively, reflecting the artist's characteristically casual and irreverent approach to the art object. Published in an edition of unknown size by the artist and the Green Gallery, New York, most examples from the edition remain unsigned, making these initialed impressions particularly notable. Both works are presented framed, offering a window into Oldenburg's celebrated engagement with consumer culture and the visual language of everyday American life.

Medium
Both signed with initials and dated in black crayon and pencil respectively, from the edition of unknown size (most unsigned), published by the artist and Green Gallery, New York, both framed.
