CLAES OLDENBURG (1929-2022)

 
"Ray Gun became a catch title for all sorts of things. Looking down on the street, I would find this angle in the shape of a ray gun everywhere. And I would collect the ray guns. They became quite an obsession."<br>-Claes Oldenburg<br><br>"Two Ray Guns" (1964) was initially sold through the venerable Sidney Janis Gallery. The work draws upon Oldenburg's keen observational sense and fascination with science fiction and popular American culture. The fascination with Ray Guns became a conceptual art practice for Oldenburg; he would not construct them in the traditional sense but instead, find objects that could be reduced into the form. Ray Gun Examples exist in plastic, bronze, plaster, and many different media.  <br><br>Our example from the Ray Gun series has been in the same important American collection for many years. Several examples from this series are in prominent museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York. "Ray Gun became a catch title for all sorts of things.

"レイガン "は、いろいろなもののキャッチフレーズになった。街角を見下ろすと、いたるところにこの光線銃の形をしたアングルがある。そして、その光線銃を集めるようになったのです。
-Claes Oldenburg

"Two Ray Guns" (1964) は、当初、老舗のシドニー・ジャニス・ギャラリーで販売された。この作品は、オルデンバーグの鋭い観察眼と、SFやアメリカの大衆文化への憧れを表現している。光線銃の魅力は、オルデンバーグにとってコンセプチュアル・アートの実践となった。彼は伝統的な意味での光線銃を作るのではなく、その形態に還元できるものを探していた。光線銃の作品は、プラスチック、ブロンズ、石膏など、さまざまなメディアで作られています。

このレイガン・シリーズの作品は、アメリカの重要なコレクションに長年収められています。このシリーズのいくつかの作品は、ニューヨーク近代美術館をはじめ、世界中の著名な美術館に収蔵されています。
