1: Almost Edible
From a contemporary artist's point of view I feel that this book encapsulates all that is wonderful and exciting about contemporary art, especially when you consider that this is Claes Oldenburg's EARLY work! Page after page of gorgeous colour photographs of his amazing sculptures that one can almost touch, they are so beautifully reproduced. The images of each work seem to float on each page as they are photographed in complete isolation with a pure white background, almost like cut outs.
If you are at all interested in sculpture, and pushing the boundaries of your art practice, then this book is for you.
It comes in a lovely cloth bound hardcover and included are many images of his drawings. Simply wonderful stuff. A real keeper. See the influences in my work [...]I don't have to hope you'll enjoy this book, I know you will!
