Claes Oldenburg (born January 28, 1929) is a world-renowned Swedish-born sculptor whose most memorable public art works are his colossal, interactive sculptures of everyday objects.
He studied art at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
His brash, humorous art is associated with the Pop Art movement, presented to the public through staged happenings in the 1960s, and still enjoys an enduring popularity.
It so happens that he is one of only six artists from our planet to have his work displayed in the Moon Museum, on the moon!
