Claes Oldenburg is well known for making soft sculptures. He makes his art three-dimensional and from paper maches, plaster models, and soft fabric. He’s made soft sculptures of hamburgers, clothes pin, giant ice cream cones, three way plugs and many more. Claes enlarges his art to resemble a everyday object and places it on a landscape . His works of art Floor Cone, Floor Burger, and Floor Cake are among the monumental structures based on comfort food made in the early 1960s. His art work comes from the ideas of the Surrealist. Floor Cake is giant squishy triangle five feet high and nine-feet long. I found it interesting how it was assembled in layers just like you would normally make. The inside of the cake is filled with empty ice cream cartons and foam rubber.
