Claes Oldenburg creates outdoor sculpture that simultaneously pleases the public and art critics. Giant clothespins, an enormous spoon with a cherry, and gargantuan paper clips are just a few Oldenburg creations that rise up from the ground and transform our relationship with space.
Nearly every community in the United States has some form of sculpture, whether it is as rich as the sculpture garden at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City , or as simple as a flagpole with decorative flowers around the base. Sculpture is an ever-present reminder that our understanding of humanity's place in the universe is at best a question mark. The following sites and listings provide a starting point to get acquainted with sculpture, sculpture gardens and sculpture artists: www.noguchi.org (Isamu Noguchi) www.nelson-atkins.org (sculpture at Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, MO) http://mfah.org/garden/world.html (sculpture garden at University of Houston)
