Giant World Replicas By Claes Oldenburg

His wife died on January 10, 2009, from the effects of breast cancer.
Claes Oldenburg supposedly has a work of art on the moon in the Moon Museum.
Paint Torch is slated for installation in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in the fall of 2011. Paint Torch is a towering 53-foot-high pop sculpture of a paintbrush, capped with bristles that will be illuminated at night. The sculpture will be installed at a daring 60-degree angle, as if in the act of painting.
Claes Oldenburg is represented by The Pace Gallery in New York.
