Exhibition Overview
The Store of Sturtevant's The Store of Claes Oldenburg is an exhibition of clay paintings, ceramics, and soft sculptures by Reniel Del Rosario. The work began as an idea during Del Rosario's undergraduate career at UC Berkeley, inspired by Elaine Sturtevant's appropriation of Claes Oldenburg's iconic Pop Art work The Store. Del Rosario uses clay and soft textile-based sculptures to create contemporary alternatives that comment on originality, value, and privilege in the art world.
