Claes Oldenburg Celebrated Swedish sculptor, b. Stockholm, 1929, who lives and works in New York. His work influenced many (mostly modular) type designs. A partial list: Architype Catalogue Outline and Architype Catalogue Solid (2016, The Foundry). Architype Catalogue originates from Wim Crouwel's Stedelijk Museum exhibition catalogue for Claes Oldenburg, 1970. The cover's soft padded letterforms evoke the artist's work. Oldenburg was so taken with the design, that he asked Wim Crouwel to complete the alphabet. During her graphic design studies at the University of Huddersfield, UK, Georgia Chipchase created the foliate typeface Petal (2013) for which she took inspiration from Claes Oldenburg. Trench Rounded and Trench Slab (2016, Shiva Nallaperumal) were inspired by Wim Crouwel's exhibition poster for Oldenburg. Claes by Mike farboe (Reserves).
