Dolls

A few days back i went toy hunting in the small local toy shops in Ganganahalli. There were all sorts of cheap toys both in terms of cost and quality. But there was still something interesting about them. I got 10 tiny dolls of Rs.8 each. It said Rs.2 on the pack but he refused to come down. So i think i got cheated but it was worth the 8 bucks. The hair was made of colored nylon threads and the clothes looked like they took less than 5 minutes to make. The doll could be easily squeezed, and it came with a tiny comb that matched her outfit.

Claes Oldenburg

Matt asked me to look at how the meaning of an object changes in relation to music, scale, medium, architecture etc…Claes Oldenburg is a great example.
Claes Oldenburg is a Swedish sculptor, best known for his public art installations typically featuring very large replicas of everyday objects. Another theme in his work is soft sculpture versions of everyday objects.

Jeff Koons

Jeff Koons is an American artist known for his giant reproductions of banal objects such as balloon animals produced in stainless steel with mirror finish surfaces, often brightly colored. Some view his work as pioneering and of major art-historical importance. Others dismiss his work as kitsch: crass and based on cynical self-merchandising. Koons himself has stated that there are no hidden meanings in his works.
