Radical pop art sculptor Claes Oldenburg dies at 93

Influential Swedish-born sculptor Claes Oldenburg – whose giant works of everyday objects delight millions – has died in his New York City home aged 93.

The Pace Gallery that represented him said he had recently suffered a fall.

It described him as “one of the most radical artists of the 20th century… in the development of pop art”.

Oldenburg, who moved to the US in the 1950s, is known for his trademark works depicting clothes pegs, baseball bats, hamburgers and electric plugs.

Many of his sculptures adorn public spaces in the US and around the world.
