OLDENBURG CLAES: (1929-) American Sculptor best known for his public art. T.L.S. Claes, three pages, 4to, New York, 24th February 1969, to John & Suzi [Russell]. Oldenburg informs his correspondent 'The replica of the Bedroom will be known as Bedroom Ensemble II, 1969...I got a letter and loan forms from the Arts Council, and have turned the forms over to Janis Gallery to return, with an itemized list of the Ensemble parts, insurance value etc. Would you tell (is it Gabriel?) White, who signed the letter & all who may be concerned that the Bedroom Ensemble II will be treated as a "work" - emphasise that it is not being constructed just for the Hayword Show and that it is not a theatrical piece or set or environment, and will not be dismantled after the show. It's a sculpture, in the form of a bedroom ensemble, and is offered for sale as any other sculpture...' Further adding 'I expect to come to London about June 1 to OK the furniture and supervise the upholstering and possibly the installation....I thought of another piece for your show. It is the two Bats which Fraser sold to a German collector named Doberman (?). They appear in the Stockholm Catalogue and were in the Fraser show. As for the outdoor piece, what pleasure it would be for me to provide a big bar of yellow soap for the smallest tray of the Hayward...but you are right, I am under much pressure...' VG
