Lipstick on Caterpillar Tracks.

Lipstick on Caterpillar Tracks

Lipstick (Ascending) on Caterpillar Tracks by artist Claes Oldenburg sits in a small campus courtyard at Yale University's Morse College. We viewed it from behind black iron bar gate. You can possibly get to it from the other side, but we were still able to get good pictures.
