Les sculptures de Claes Oldenburg sont réputées pour leurs représentations ludiques et à grande échelle d’objets du quotidien, souvent transformés en formes souples et surdimensionnées. Influencée par le pop art, l’œuvre d’Oldenburg brouille la frontière entre l’ordinaire et l’extraordinaire, en s’ ant de sculptures emblématiques telles que Clothespin et Soft Toilet. Son utilisation de l’humour et de l’échelle invite les spectateurs à reconsidérer le familier d’une manière nouvelle et stimulante. L'approche innovante d'Oldenburg en matière de matériaux, alliant le monumental au banal, a consolidé sa position de figure centrale de la sculpture contemporaine.
