Dyed and molded paper, color screenprint and wood multiple - Signed with initials, dated and numbered in pencil // Claes Oldenburg's Broken Button (Split Button) (1981) is a mixed media sculpture that combines dyed and molded paper, color screenprint, and wood. The piece depicts a large, fractured button, housed within a transparent case that accentuates its three-dimensional nature. The button, split into two halves, showcases Oldenburg's signature approach of transforming everyday objects into monumental, abstract forms. The use of texture and muted colors gives the piece an organic, weathered appearance, contrasting the simplicity of its subject. This limited edition of 100 is signed with Oldenburg's initials, dated, and numbered, underscoring his playful exploration of scale and form.

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.
