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 late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
