Kaspar König's support of Claes Oldenburg and the close bond they developed over five decades significantly influenced the artist’s career trajectory and public exposure.
Oldenburg's mixed media piece presented at a 1967 group show was integral to his homage to Marilyn Monroe, showcasing König's astute curatorial choices.
The inclusion of Oldenburg’s works in landmark shows such as Documenta 5 and Skulptur Projekte Münster highlights König’s pivotal role in expanding contemporary art dialogues.
König's collection reflects his discerning eye for contemporary art and his relationships with artists, particularly noted in Oldenburg's whimsical critiques of consumerism and celebrity.
