![From clothespins to ice cream, Claes Oldenburg draws our attention to the smaller details of life by granting the power of size. As the artist walks us through his commission piece, Standing Mitt with Ball, we are able to see the careful diligence behind his work. Oldenburg seeks inspiration in his hometown of Chicago and whether it be debris or items in a dime store, he always finds his muse.](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYzhlZmM2MmItMTYxNi00NWU1LWExMDItZDU3MDEyZDc3NWE3XkEyXkFqcGdeQXRyYW5zY29kZS13b3JrZmxvdw@@._V1_QL75_UX500_CR0,49,500,281_.jpg)
