Public Artist Claes Oldenburg

Pop artist and sculptor Claes (klaus) Oldenburg. He turns everyday objects into colossal public monuments. He created a giant clothespin for Philadelphia, a rubber stamp for Cleveland, a fruit bowl for Miami, and others. Before taking on the large public sculptures, CLAES worked in multiples, where a small object is repeated. A new book about this period of his work is called, "Claes Oldenburg: Multiples in Retrospect 1964-1990." (by Rizzoli International Publications, Inc.)

Patricia Stewart is on the faculty of the Philadelphia College of Art and Moore College of Art. She will be providing commentary on an upcoming "sculpture jog," which is part of the efforts of local art colleges to highlight the outdoor art in the city. Stewart discusses Philadelphia's public art and the "sculpture jog."

Gehry, who died Dec. 5, designed the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, and the Disney Concert Hall in LA. His work has been likened to sculptures rather than buildings. Originally broadcast in 2004.
