Lithograph in colors on Arches Cover paper Published by Anthology Film Archives, New York Initialed, dated and numbered in pencil. Claes Oldenburg’s Proposal For A Civic Monument In The Form Of Two Windows (1982) showcases his fascination with everyday objects transformed into monumental forms. This lithograph presents two large green-framed windows, one intact and the other shattered, set against a sketchy, minimalist background of trees and sky. The contrast between the pristine and broken window invites reflection on themes of fragility, change, and urban landscapes. Oldenburg, known for his playful and thought-provoking reinterpretations of common items, imbues the composition with a conceptual and sculptural sensibility. Published in a limited edition of 75 by Anthology Film Archives, this work exemplifies his approach to monumentalizing the ordinary.

What is appropriation?
Artwork by Shepard Fairey

What is appropriation?

Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
