Revisit Claes Oldenburg’s Seminal ‘Six Themes’ 50 Years After Its Debut

Oldenburg's most famous piece of writing, "I Am For...", runs about 700 words and starts with an art that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum. He insisted it wasn't a manifesto, and later called it a "slightly satirical ode" to making art from anything in one's surroundings.
