Dear Sophie -
The works of pop artist CLAES OLDENBERG were really refreshing when he constructed these whimsical oversized paper mache and plastic renditions of everyday objects.
Collaborating with his 3rd wife Coosje van Bruggen, the work evolved to these polished whimsical monuments.
Oldenberg's binoculars defined the entrance to this Frank Gehry building designed and constructed for Jay Chiat.
(Albert asked: "Why are these binoculars facing down when the ocean is two blocks away?")
With love,
Mom
