SUMMARY:ON DRAWINGS 2025 - Exhibition Tour & Study Room Visit at The Whitney
DESCRIPTION:Study Center visit focused on the drawings of Claes Oldenburg and\nExhibition Tour of the installation Claes Oldenburg: Drawn from Life\nLed by Antonia Pocock\, Curatorial Assistant\, Whitney Museum of American Art\nand Eli Harrison\, Curatorial Fellow\, Sondra Gilman Study Center\, Whitney Museum of American Art \nThis event is open to members of The Drawing Foundation. Log in to your membership account to register or sign up to become a member today. \n___ \nMore about the exhibition: \n\n\n\nBest known for his sculptures of everyday objects rendered in unexpected textures or dimensions\, Claes Oldenburg (1929–2022) once proclaimed\, “I am for an art that takes its form from the lines of life itself.” His innovations in sculpture emerged out of his drawing practice\, which enabled him to swiftly record and transform the contours of the world around him. Claes Oldenburg: Drawn from Life focuses on the artist’s drawings from the 1960s in which he playfully reimagined the spaces—streets\, stores\, homes—and objects of daily life. This selection from the Whitney’s extensive collection of Oldenburg’s works on paper attests to his wide range as a draftsman and expanded definition of life drawing. \nOldenburg’s earliest body of work in this exhibition\, The Street (1959–60)\, channels influences from everyday modes of drawing\, such as urban graffiti and children’s art\, into visceral portrayals of city life. Oldenburg turned to comics and advertising illustration as inspiration for his two subsequent series\, The Store (1961–64) and The Home (1963–69)\, which include exuberant drawings of food\, clothing\, and household appliances that informed his colorful\, cartoonish “soft” sculptures. In 1965 Oldenburg began sketching enlarged versions of his favorite commonplace items—including fire hydrants\, baked potatoes\, and teddy bears—towering over cityscapes. Although these works were titled Proposed Colossal Monuments (1965–69)\, they remained fanciful notions until Oldenburg began building large-scale\, outdoor sculptures in 1969. \nClaes Oldenburg: Drawn from Life is organized by Antonia Pocock\, Curatorial Assistant. \n___ \n\n\n\nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in partnership with the Whitney Museum of American Art as part of On Drawings 2025. \n           \nImage: Claes Oldenburg (1929-2022)\, Typewriter Erasers—Position Studies\, 1970.
