Knees for sale

Oct 3 2007

A pair of knees which formed part of the Pop Art movement in the 60s is to go under the hammer.

The sculpture, called London Knees, was made by Swedish-born artist Claes Oldenburg, who moved to Chicago in the fifties and went on to become one of the most important figures in post-war American art.

It is estimated to sell for between £1,000 and £2,000 when it goes for auction at Dukes of Dorchester on Thursday.
