Ep. 49 - Claes Oldenburg's "Giant Toothpaste Tube" (1964)

The Lonely Palette

Somewhere between the life of the mind and the boots on the ground sits Pop artist Claes Oldenburg, who wants us to see that both of those worlds are one and the same, and that there's value, and even beauty, to our joy-sparking stuff (and maybe we can finally let ourselves admit it.)
