The portfolio of 12 color lithographs by Claes Oldenburg during a nine-month stay in Los Angeles is simply titled Notes (1968). The artist’s sketches and collected snippets, like postcards, snapshots, and newspaper advertisements, have been artfully assembled and presented like a scrapbook of ideas for “monuments” that, said Oldenburg, “may be defined as objects or parts of the body increased to colossal scale and set in a landscape.”
