Sculptor mainly, big stuff for public spaces but it was his soft drum kit that made me smile originally. I suspect it's where Jeff Koons got all his ideas from. :D

Most of his work raises a smile, which beats statues of military men on horseback. :lol:

The Modern Art Gallery in the Centre Cologne was excellent ( Museum Ludwig) - if anyone ever finds themselves there - and they had Claus O display for a while ( okay - poor jobs on my behalf that it was sculpture - bit like Warhol's boxes of Omo - or whatever it was
)

I reckon I'd be happy with 89, IME once you're in your late 80's then your quality of life is starting to slide and unless you're one of those exceptions and still running around like a spring chicken then you're going to be limited as to what you can do. Plus I've budgeted for the majority of my money running out in my late 80's and being on a standard UK pension - if it exists by then.
