Here's some more art that you can't find at the museum: This is an underpass in Central Park. Even though it's something that people use every day, even though people drive on it and walk through it, it's still art. Pretty soon you'll be learning about the Brooklyn Bridge. When you look at the bridge, remember that it's not just a way to get from Brooklyn to Manhattan, it's also a really huge work of art.

Bridges have to be very big in order to do the job of carrying cars and people from one side of a river to another. But look at these works of art, which were created by Claes Oldenburg:

Do you recognize those objects? They are a clothespin, a shuttlecock, and a cherry on a spoon. (A shuttlecock is the thing that you hit back and forth over the net in a game of badminton.) But they're much larger than the real-life objects on which they're modeled. Why would Claes Oldenburg go through so much trouble to make a 40 foot high clothespin, when you can go to a hardware store and buy a whole bag of clothespins for $2.00? I have my own ideas about that, but I wonder what you think.
