The Store of Sturtevant’s The Store of Claes Oldenburg

American Museum of Ceramic Art
January 17–May 27, 2026

The exhibition, consisting of clay paintings, ceramics, and soft sculptures, began as an idea during Reniel Del Rosario’s undergraduate career at UC Berkeley. He was introduced early on to the work of Elaine Sturtevant, who became an inspiration for him in his clay-based art practice. It was through Sturtevant that Del Rosario learned about Claes Oldenburg’s The Store, an iconic work in Pop Art history. Del Rosario’s presentation focuses on clay as the primary medium, along with some soft textile-based sculptures.
