Pastry Case, I , 1961-62
105.4 x 153 cm (h x w)
Burlap and muslin soaked in plaster, painted with enamel, metal bowls, and ceramic plates in glass-and-metal case

Pastry Case, I is a replica sculpture of a display case full of food. It is made from muslin, plastic and enamel. Within the display case are a cake, a rack of ribs, a bitten caramel apple, a banana split and various other desserts. It is both appetizing and repulsive, emphasizing the juxtaposition between products and the obvious falsity of advertisements. Oldenburg labels these ‘frustrating expectations,’ as the objects in the case cannot be consumed.
