Sasha, the intern at exhibit design, invited me on a tour of special collections at the GRI. Claes Oldenburg’s False Food Selection was one of many objects we were able to see up close and personal. This piece was aquired from Jean Baker Brown, who developed a large collection of Fluxus art at her home in Massachusetts. Read more about her here.
A note: I don’t think the box was such a brilliant blue color as portrayed in this photo. The catalogers must have been playing with the photoshop color picker.
