Lipstick Ascending on Caterpillar Tracks 1969 — Fine Art

Lipstick Ascending on Caterpillar Tracks 1969 by Claes Oldenburg places a red lipstick tube on a pair of black tank tracks. The metal shape leans upward over the hard edges of the treads. Claes Oldenburg first worked with this kind of object in the nineteen sixties.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The print arrives with a white frame, a wood frame, a dark wood frame or a black frame. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. The white frame keeps the background plain and lets the red shape stand out.

The black frame adds weight along the top edge. This print works on the wall of a home office near a desk lamp. From the chair you see the red lipstick first and the tracks follow.
