The European Desktop is the third and final work in a series of theatrical installations that grew out of Claes Oldenburg and his wife Coosje van Bruggen’s work with architect Frank Gehry for the 1985 Venice Biennale. This catalogue documents the work behind a number of sculptures — a shattered desk pad, a quill, an ink pot, and postal scales — all of which look as if they have fallen from the sky. This publication provides a brilliant engagement with historical skirmishes for national boundaries and the displacement of European cultures, turning memories into relics.
