CINDY SHERMAN & CATHERINE OPIE

Sherman's pieces draw from her series of Instagram photos and create a wonderful juxtaposition between contemporary and traditional visual languages.  Opie's images were chosen for the series and play with the contrast of the light and dark of the material as it marries to the subject matter. In all, these magical works are an exceptional opportunity to collect work by two seminal artists working today.

Each cameo is carved by the artisan Gino di Luca who is a descendant of a long line of cameo-makers based in Torre del Greco, a town outside of Naples, Italy where cameos have been made for centuries.

Jeff Koons playfully tests the boundaries of commerce, celebrity, banality and pleasure. In his hands even the most familiar, everyday items transcend commonality to become true icons that manifest the essence of American popular culture.

Balloon Dog is a very optimistic piece, it is a balloon that a clown would have maybe twist for you at a birthday party.  But at the same time there's the profoundness of an archaic sculpture.  The piece has an interior life while the reflective exterior surface affirms the viewer through their reflection.  - Jeff Koons

Balloon Dog (Orange) is a limited edition work that references Koons's iconic, monumental sculpture of the same name from his highly acclaimed Celebration Series (1994) which includes five colored sculptures in red, magenta, blue, orange and yellow. The series evolved from his desire to recreate the ecstatic experiences of a child's enjoyment of the world through universal signifiers representing birthday parties and festive events.

The porcelain plate series by Kehinde WIley includes six designs featuring details from paintings spanning 2008-2012. The six different faces -- 3 male and 3 female -- are cropped against colorful, vibrant backgrounds so the plates are equally decorative and functional. The back of each plate has easy holes for hanging, and they are microwave and dishwasher safe.

Each coupe plate is 10.75" and shows a stamped signature on the verso. The plates are individually boxed.

This set of four mirrored coasters entitled, The Night You Left, by Nir Hod are lined with digitally printed white powder that has a tactile quality. Decadent and eye-catching, the coasters come in black or gold and are backed with black velvet. Highly gift-able, the set is housed in a sleek black box.

The title of the editioned set suggests a lonely narrative, a moment of solitude when one might turn to drugs not for glamour or excitement, but for revelry and longing. “There is a certain magic in loneliness,” Hod explains, “you have to be alone to create.” He adds, “It’s not about drugs or glamour—it’s about the inside world, where you can dream and love and seek a greater truth—it’s about a feeling of being connected to something so human.”
