this guy is due to be installed on new york city’s high line in the next couple of weeks. in 2014, the sculpture – painted bronze and very lifelike – caused quite a stir on the campus of wellesley college. the coeds were not amused.
i kinda like him.
your thoughts….?
okay…was this guy brilliant or what?
an industrial designer and unsung hero who worked for george nelson associates. by day mr. harper had a hand in designing some of the most iconic mid-century items for nelson and herman miller. all of these — clocks, marshmallow sofa — were credited to nelson and the firm.
but by night….harper made paper sculptures. ahhhhh….
harper’s sculptures recently set records at auction. who knew?
kara is known primarily for her thought provoking silhouettes evocative of the art of the 1800s. i scored a commemorative jug from her controversial 2014 installation at brooklyn’s domino sugar factory. utterly provacative. a –not so subtle– subtlety.
I’ve been coveting a work by Ms. Apfelbaum for quite some time. She’s been known over the past few years primarily for her series of woodblock prints on handmade paper. A departure for me, I generally gravitate toward the monochromatic, chic n somber. Reminiscent of a 21st century interpretation of 1960s Warhol flower silkscreens, Polly’s work is upbeat, fun n playful.
“Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof……”
my favorite series from artist donald sultan. limited edition digital photo prints. ethereal. and not at all hazardous to your health.
