By CBS Chicago Staff:
NEW YORK (CBS/AP) — Pop artist Claes Oldenburg, who turned the mundane into the monumental through his outsized sculptures of a baseball bat, a clothespin and other objects, has died at age 93.
Oldenburg – who grew up in Chicago – died Monday morning in New York City, according to his daughter, Maartje Oldenburg. He had been in poor health since falling and breaking his hip a month ago.
