Claes Oldenburg: Drawn from Life at the Whitney spans seven decades of the pop art pioneer's work, with a focus on his drawing practice as the connective tissue between iconic soft sculptures, monument proposals, and colossal public commissions. Less familiar than his greatest hits, the show rewards close looking. One of the most significant retrospectives of an American artist in recent years. Ticketed; free with Whitney membership.
