On View
Not on viewOldenburg presents images of objects that imply a human presence. He infuses familiar objects wih new life and wit. In this print he has identified the brush as a body and the eraser as a heard of auburn hair. As is the case in this work, Oldenburg often uses prints to document his three-dimensional projects, many of which are never realized.
