Gianfranco Pardi

Loving the work from Italian artist Gianfranco Pardi. 

Feathers

Chronic/Vacation series from photographer Adam Wollenberg. Aren't these so simple and incredibly beautiful?

LACMA

I'm back from a great trip to LA with G, and among the many highlights was a trip to the LA County Museum of Art. I loved the work of Robert Therrien & Haegue Yang, and of course Chris Burden's  installation Urban Light. 

MAPS

A special Fort Greene, Brooklyn map from the talented Lena Corwin. Check out her book MAPS. Charming.

Gettin' Juiced

I've stumbled upon a new fantastic blog, Apple Juiced. A nice mix of food, art, design and life in NYC. Great stuff Lauren! I particularly loved this post:

The secret 6 Train station built in 1904. Umm wow wow wow beautiful.

Inspired By: Roxy Paine

I really enjoyed reading an article on Artist Roxy Paine in the Sunday Times. He creates giant stainless steel sculptures called Denroids out of industrial piping. They resemble gleaming trees, but upon further inspection the branches are more like nerves and energy stretching outward. Truly beautiful.

Everything in its Place

Artist Misha Kahn's "Cabinet". I love the idea of a group of disparate objects being placed in a space perfectly defined for them. Order in chaos.

Tall Drink of Art: Michael Johansson

I'm a big fan of the work of Swedish Artist Michael Johansson. His work involves objects that have been packed into cubes and rectangles and other odd nooks and shapes. I think it's the juxtaposition of chaos and order I find so appealing here. Great stuff.

Inspired By: Wayne Pate

I was introduced to illustrator Wayne Pate in the April issue of Elle Decoration. His work is completely charming, a little retro and playful. (and for sale!)

Armory Show 2010

I had the pleasure to attend the 2010 Armory Show this weekend. So much fantastic art was on display! (Not to mention some interesting people watching.) Here are some shots of work that really stood out for me.

My three favorite paintings.

A lot of large-scale, metallic sculptures...

...and sculpture with legs.

Loved these sort of found object installations...

...and these suspended books.

Yarn sculpture piece. Love the textures.

Crazy sculpture of beads and porcelain birds and flowers.
