It is not so remarkable for an artist to have a collection of curios, or to use a real object as a part of his composition. What matters is how the fragment, object or collection, as found or transformed, fits into an autonomous form / idea of the artist. This applies also to the altered and unaltered objects collected by Claes Oldenburg over the years in the 'Mouse Museum' and the 'Ray Gun Wing'
