Shoes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Shoes" by Claes Oldenburg depicts a single shoe made of dark gray material. The shoe appears to be crafted from a thick, heavy material, possibly stone or clay. It features a rounded toe and a short, cuff-like section at the top. A strap with a small tab extends across the top of the shoe. The edges are rough and uneven. The background of the image is light grey. The shoe is positioned on a surface with a slight shadow beneath it.
