Latex Sculpture with Polyurethane and Acrylic Base - Published by Editions Alecto Ltd London and Neuendorf Verlag Berlin - Suite: The Knees as London Monument Project - Signature Initialed in the Casting // Claes Oldenburg’s London Knees (1966) is a mixed media sculpture made from latex, polyurethane, and acrylic, mounted on a base. The piece features two stylized, abstracted forms resembling human knees, presented as monumental structures. Part of The Knees as London Monument Project, Oldenburg plays with scale and human anatomy, transforming a familiar body part into an architectural element. The smooth, slightly distorted surfaces suggest movement, despite their static presentation. This sculpture exemplifies Oldenburg’s playful exploration of form and scale, questioning the boundaries between objects, bodies, and monumental art.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
