Two Cheeseburgers, with Everything (Dual Hamburgers)

Claes Oldenburg · 1962

This is Two Cheeseburgers, with Everything (Dual Hamburgers) — a sculpture by the American artist Claes Oldenburg, nineteen sixty-two. Oldenburg was part of the pop art movement. Plaster — cast from a mould, cheap and provisional, and usually a stage on the way to something more permanent. You can pick out the food on a table.
