Maus Museum : Eine Auswahl von Objekten Gesammelt von Claes Oldenburg / A Selection of Objects Collected by Claes Oldenburg

Claes Oldenburg, Kasper König

description

Supplemental catalogue produced to be co-joined into the Documenta 5 catalogue, documenting Claes Oldenburg's "Maus Museum," or "Mouse Museum." Contains essay by Kasper König, the director of the Maus Museum, which was first exhibited at Documenta 5. "The Mouse Museum consists of objects collected by Claes Oldenburg in a sculpture based on his sign of the Geometric Mouse ... The collection grew out of a very personal interest and was used as part of the working process of the artist. It thus repeats on a small scale the development of the true museum, which arises out of the evolutionary process of civilization. The Mouse Museum is intended as a microcosms of the museum experience." -- from the catalogue's introduction by König
