Claes Oldenburg
Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Stedelijk Museum, 1970
74 pp., 27.6 x 20.8 cm., softcover
Edition size unknown
Designed by Wim Crouwel (see next post), Claes Oldenburg is a catalogue produced to accompany an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum, from the 16th of January to the 15th of March, in 1970. The book features five reproductions in colour and 139 in black and white.
It includes texts (in English and Dutch) by E. de Wilde and Alicia Legg and Oldenburg’s famous 1961
I Am For… statement (my favourite of which is "I am for an art that grows up not knowing it is art at all, an art given the chance of having a starting point of zero”).
Crouwel used the same cover font he designed for the exhibition poster, below.
The catalogue is available here, for €80.00.
