Artist Entry #22/Sculptor #14 Claes Oldenburg and Coosje Van Bruggen

I decide to uses their work because it is different, they have been labeled as creating pop art because of the images they create. The idea of using everyday ordinary objects and making them gigantic is size is kind of interesting I guess. Most of their work is displayed out in fields or large parks. It appears that each piece is site specific, ie: Monument to the Last Horse(horse shoe). it seems so appropriate that you'd see a huge horse shoe at a ranch in Texas. To give you an idea of how big there work can be Claes built a gigantic clothes pin that was 45' tall.

I think they work is pretty cool, there ideas are very original. I'm not sure if the they have any intended meanings behind their work but it is still visually appealing. In a way they kind of share the same way of thinking as Jeff Koons but they create the work themselves.
