From 1961 to ’62 Oldenburg maintained “The Store” in New York’s Lower East Side, where he made and sold his early foodstuff sculptures, mostly created out of plaster of Paris. Later, The Store, served as a venue for his early Happenings. For this volume Oldenburg, and the Press’ editor Emmett Williams, compile documents, texts, photos and other graphics. An original business card from The Store is included in a glassine envelope mounted on the front endpaper.
