Color etching printed on Auvergne a la Main Paper - Image Size: 6.5 x 10 inches - Published by Brooke Alexander - Hand signed by the artist // Claes Oldenburg's Pick-Axe Superimposed on a Drawing of Site by EL Grimm (1982) is a color etching that playfully combines traditional landscape art with Pop Art intervention. The image, printed on Auvergne à la Main paper, features a serene, pastoral scene reminiscent of classical drawings, possibly influenced by the work of EL Grimm. Dominating the composition, however, is a bold, oversized black pick-axe imposed over the landscape, disrupting the tranquil environment with its stark and modern form. This juxtaposition of the industrial tool against the idyllic setting highlights Oldenburg’s signature style, merging everyday objects with unexpected contexts. The hand-signed piece reflects his exploration of scale and transformation, encouraging viewers to reimagine the familiar within artistic landscapes.

What is Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
