Pop art's chaotic king and his partner-in-crime make ice cream a heist worth watching.
Two screens of film about - and sometimes shot by - Claes Oldenburg, detailing his inspiration, his methods and his relationship with his partner Hannah Wilke.
Direction
Scott lets Oldenburg shoot himself—chaotic, narcissistic, perfect.
Production
1971 film stock makes everything feel like a forbidden gallery opening.
Director
James Scott
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Oldenburg was already famous for 'Floor Burger' and 'Floor Cone' when this was made—this film captures him at peak 'capitalism's clown prince' energy.
Hannah Wilke would become a pioneering feminist artist; watching her here as 'partner' before her own stardom is quietly heartbreaking.
