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

“I am for the art of underwear and the art of ice cream cones
dropped on concrete. I am for an art that is heavy and coarse and
blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself.” Today, the art world -
and, as he would attest, the world world too - lost a giant, and
we're re-releasing our episode from September 2020 in his honor.
RIP, Claes Oldenburg, and thank you for plucking art from its
spotless frame and returning it to our messy, magnificent plane.
Hope you're enjoying that great big floor pie in the sky. See the
