Claes Oldenburg is a sculptor, best known for his public art installations typically featuring large versions of everyday objects. Another theme in his work is soft versions of normally hard objects.
Oldenburg was born in Stockholm, Sweden, but moved to America as a child in 1936. He studied at Yale University and the Art Institute of Chicago. One of his first large works was Lipstick (Ascending) on Caterpillar Tracks, which consists of a giant tube of lipstick placed vertically atop tank treads. It was originally installed in Beinecke Plaza at Yale, and now resides in the Morse College courtyard.
He has collaborated since 1976 with Dutch/American pop sculptor Coosje van Bruggen. They were married in 1977 and work together.
Unless otherwise stated, dimensions are given as height x width x depth.
All works by both artists except in two cases, where indicated with an asterisk

It appears as though the artists' official website (www.oldenburgvanbruggen.com) is down, so the pictures provided will not show (except for a few from other sites), so bear with me until their website comes back.
And if you know the locations of any other Oldenburg/van Bruggen works, post them so I can add them to the file!

Dear RyanConn:
I posted a Berlin, Germany location of a sculpture by the two artists under the name "Houseball" in this forum.
Didn't know how to include the Placemark here, so I hope you can include it in your list.
Quite fun to look at this one - the shadow of the object is clearly visible, as is the outline of the former church located on the site, destroyed in WWII.
