Floor Cake 1962

Claes Oldenburg's 1962 sculpture, *Floor Cake*, is a prime example of Pop Art. Oldenburg is known for his large-scale sculptures of everyday objects, transforming familiar items into monumental art. The work depicts a giant slice of cake, constructed from painted plaster, and is a humorous commentary on consumer culture and the allure of mass-produced goods. This piece, like many of Oldenburg's sculptures, challenges the traditional boundaries of art by elevating the mundane into the realm of high art.
