He created giant objects made of cloth stuffed with paper or rags, which became known as “soft-sculptures”. In 1962, he first exhibited his huge soft sculptures. Oldenburg’s work includes food items like ice cream cones, hamburgers and cakes; and mass manufactured items like lipsticks, needles, bicycles and fans. His giant sculptures presented these common objects in such a way that it reversed the traditional relationship between the viewer and these items.
