A very happy birthday to the remarkable Patty Mucha, who turns 89 today!🎉
The left photo is from when I visited her in Vermont a few months ago; the other shows her in the 1960s with then-husband Claes Oldenburg along with the Floor Burger, one of the many products of their artistic collaborations
For what it's worth, according to Patty just before the Floor Burger's first showing at the Green Gallery in NYC in 1962, she & then-husband Claes Oldenburg "inaugurated" the piece by making love between the patty and the bun
