"Ray Gun" se convirtió en un título para todo tipo de cosas. Mirando a la calle, me encontraba con este ángulo en forma de pistola de rayos por todas partes. Y coleccionaba las pistolas de rayos. Se convirtieron en una obsesión".
-Claes Oldenburg

"Two Ray Guns" (1964) se vendió inicialmente en la venerable Sidney Janis Gallery. La obra se basa en el agudo sentido de la observación de Oldenburg y su fascinación por la ciencia ficción y la cultura popular estadounidense. La fascinación por las Ray Guns se convirtió en una práctica artística conceptual para Oldenburg; no las construía en el sentido tradicional, sino que encontraba objetos que pudieran reducirse a la forma. Existen ejemplos de Ray Gun en plástico, bronce, yeso y muchos otros medios.

Nuestro ejemplo de la serie Ray Gun ha estado en la misma importante colección estadounidense durante muchos años. Varios ejemplos de esta serie se encuentran en destacadas colecciones de museos de todo el mundo, incluido el Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York.
