Ice Bag, Scale B

Claes Oldenburg

Programmed kinetic construction in aluminum, steel, nylon, fiberglass

Seattle Art Museum

In his oversized soft sculptures of everyday objects, Oldenburg adopts the subtle undercurrent of seduction found in advertising images. His Ice Bag - of which he made versions in different scales - undulates, bulges, and deflates in a suggestively erotic cycle. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. David E. Skinner, II Object number 84.224
