Choose City
Claes Oldenburg and Peter Moore, both captivated by New York's street life in the 1950s, created works inspired by storefronts, signs, and urban transformation. Oldenburg turned city visuals into sculptures and installations like The Street and The Store, while Moore documented the city's evolving signage through photography. Their work shares a sharp eye for language, humor, and the theatrical energy of urban life, capturing a gritty yet playful portrait of a city always in motion.
