The only thing better than 2d Lichtenstein is 3d Lichtenstein.

Yes, Rauschenberg is a big fave of mine. I like Oldenburg too.

Wow, I didn't know that Rauschenberg did pure sculpture as well. That's cool.

I don't know whether these guys are "pop" but their stuff is just so strange, I love it.

Destroy Richard Serra's Tilted Arc or whatever, the really obnoxious huge thing that was like a wall and blocked all the pedestrians, btw.

I don't know that that is pure sculpture: he found a stuffed goat and put a used tyre over its head, and the rest is more like his usual painting/collages. And it is a real rarity in his work. (He's my favourite living artist, probably.)

however you call it, I like it.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 31 January 2003 23:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, sorry to sound lecturey and argumentative! I mainly wanted to say that he never quite did get much into sculpture.

Claes Oldenburg's "Soft Fur Good Humors" from 1963 look good today (Good Humor is an American ice lolly brand), they are both quintessential "Pop Art" and have strong flavours of the surreal. RIP Oldenburg, who died today pic.twitter.com/4oeKVgUoN0
