About North End
The North End, Boston's Little Italy, is a maze of narrow streets with some of the city's oldest buildings. On the self-guided Freedom Trail, tourists pass historic sites like the 1680 Paul Revere House and the Old North Church, which played a key role at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Italian restaurants, coffeehouses, pastry shops and old-school delis pack the area, especially on lively Hanover Street.

" My intention is to make an everyday object that eludes definition, " he was quoted as saying in The New York Times.
Many of his works were made in collaboration with his wife Coosje van Bruggen, who died in 2009.
In a BBC interview in 2015, Mr Oldenburg said: " At The End of the '60s, I started to become interested in architecture and in Turning objects into architecture.
" So I made A Number Of Studies of buildings that I would propose for cities in the form of objects. There's a whole collection of them, including several for New York . "
His proposals took the form of self-consciously absurd drawings. In one sketch from 1965, for instance, he presents a gargantuan Teddy Bear sitting slumped at the North End of Central Park - Turning the entire city into a playground.
The Sculptor himself never believed that his tongue-in-cheek ideas would actually be Built - he was more interested in creating playful ideas that were at the same time amusing and slightly Sinister .
