Description: The Music Room by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje Van Bruggen photography by Todd Eberle Large hardcover exhibition catalogue in very good condition "In each work in this exhibition, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen have so deconstructed the form of the object that inspired it as to flagrantly contradict its original purpose. Nevertheless, through all the liberties they take with a shape, the artists reassert its starting point in the world of musical performance. By their use of color they even turn many of these sculptures into something akin to heraldic declarations, whether of "horn" of "trumpet" or of "violin". This is paradoxical, for a chief effect of each work, when contemplated, is to augment a familiar instrument with alternative identities, with alternative functions, and above all with strength of emotion. These new contrivances created by Oldenburg and van Bruggen could never be played in the ways that musical convention dictates, yet on the level of imagination and feeling each resonates with a strange urgency...."
