Elevate Your Space with Claes Oldenburg’s Floor Cone (1962)
Experience a pivotal moment in Pop Art history with this museum-quality fine art print of Claes Oldenburg’s Floor Cone (1962). Originally conceived for his groundbreaking installation, The Store, this work redefined the boundaries of sculpture by transforming a mundane consumer object—a giant ice cream cone—into a soft, sagging monument of modern culture. This 75x100 cm (30x40 inches) reproduction captures the tactile presence and whimsical subversion of Oldenburg’s original vision.
The Art of the Everyday
Claes Oldenburg was a master of challenging the prestige of traditional art. By using materials like canvas and foam to create 'soft sculptures,' he brought art off the pedestal and onto the floor, making it relatable and ironically human. Floor Cone remains an iconic symbol of the 1960s Pop Art movement, critiquing consumerism while celebrating the vibrant forms of urban life. Our reproduction preserves the subtle textures and muted, vintage palette of the original 1962 piece, ensuring a sophisticated addition to any contemporary collection.
