Ovation TV | Claes Oldenburg

The work of sculptor Claes Oldenburg, one of America's wittiest and most popular artists, is a celebration of the everyday. Making hard surfaces soft, soft edges hard, and small objects extra large, he creates visual paradoxes that defy our perceptions of commonplace objects and endow them with a new reality. This documentary surveys Oldenburg's very varied output spanning four decades and he is seen installing a major retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.With a mission to "Make Life Creative," Ovation TV is a multiplatform network focused on entertaining, inspiring and engaging the artist in all of us by offering original and acquired programming focused on art, culture and personal creativity. The network is distributed via cable, satellite and telco, and is complemented with its popular broadband website (www.OvationTV.com).
