Catalogue of the Exhibition
Three-dimensional Objects
The works are grouped in categories according to their
themes, which succeed one another in roughly chronological
order; however, the various categories tend to overlap
somewhat in date. Within each group, the arrangement is in
order of the making of each piece, according to information
supplied by Ihe artist, who has also advised on the titles.
Certain drawings related to specific works are shown with
them. The majority, however, are exhibited in the Paul J.
Sachs Gallery on the third floor of the Museum, where a
number of notebook pages (uncatalogued), ranging in date
from 1954to 1969, are also shown unmounted in cases.
In dimensions, height precedes width and depth. For a
number of objects, the measurements given are variable,
because of the nature of the materials, or because the objects
may be arranged in different positions.

The Street
Developed out of Oldenburg's graffitilike sketches made
along the Bowery and elsewhere on New York's Lower East
Side, the figures, signs, and objects for The Street are constructed out of various discarded or fragile materials. The
Street was first presented in a two-part exhibition with
Jim Dine at Ihe Judson Gallery, January 30-March 17, 1960
(nos. 2-9). Oldenburg exhibited a second version in a
one-man show at the Reuben Gallery the lollowing May.

Flags
Oldenburg spent the summer of 1960 in Provincetown,
Massachusetts. The compositions that he made there from
scrap wood and other materials picked up on the beach, as
well as related works, are known as "flags" because of the
stripes prominent

The Store
On his return from Provincetown,
Oldenburg began sketching
food and various kinds of merchandise displayed in
neighborhood shops of the Lower East Side. Using the same
subjects, he made a number of reliefs, fragments of signs
and advertisements, and other common objects, some of
which were included in a group show "Environments,
Situations, Spaces" at the Martha Jackson Gallery in the
spring ot1961. In December 1961, Oldenburg opened The
Store in his studio at 107 East Second Street; its inventory
consisted of pieces from the Martha Jackson show, plus
about sixty new pieces, mostly free-standing (nos. 14-29).
A second version of The Store, which opened at the Green
Gallery on Fifty-seventh Street in September 1962, marked the
first appearance of Oldenburg's
giant objects and soft
sculpture (nos. 31-43). In addition to a group of small objects
made for his one-man show at the Galerie Ileana Sonnabend
in Paris, 1964 (nos. 56-59), there area number of objects
relating to the theme of The Siore which date from 1963 to
1967 (nos. 44-55).

The Home
The theme of The Home was initiated with the Bedroom
Ensemble (no. 60), constructed in Los Angeles late in 1963
and shown at the Sidney Janis Gallery in January 1964. For
a number of years Oldenburg continued to make pieces
related to The Home, in "hard," "soft," and "ghost" versions,
and in sizes ranging from normal to gigantic.

various electrical and mechanical
appliances are often related to the theme of The Home,
although they also include other kinds of equipment, such as
typewriters and pay-telephones. Again, these are in "hard,"

The Car (Airflow)
Beginning in 1965, Oldenburg
has concentrated much of his
activity on the theme of the car, based specifically
on the
Chrysler Airflow of 1935. He has dissected the car and
presented it and its parts in various materials, and in six
scales-the
fifth being the actual size of the car, and the

Monuments, Models, Landscapes, and Outdoor Sculpture
From 1965 on, Oldenburg has devised a number of proposals
for imaginary monuments intended for specific sites. For the
most part, these exist only as drawings, and usually in several
versions; but some of them have been constructed as threedimensional models (nos. 97-102,105).
The first of his
monuments to be actually realized, unveiled on the campus of
Yale University in May 1969, is here represented
by a model
(no. 104).

Miscellaneous Objects, 1967-1969
In these recent works, Oldenburg has continued to explore a
number ofthemes, often related to those which he has
created in other mediums, materials, or dimensions.
He has
also become interested in objects fabricated by industrial
methods (no. 116).
