ARTWARE SELECTS

Produced in collaboration with Pendleton Mills, this limited edition blanket designed by Mickalene Thomas is the first in a series of four blankets the artist has designed exclusively for Artware Editions. Each design will feature a different female model with intricate braiding and other bold details that present a strong, graphic image. The reverse side of the blanket shows the same design in negative giving the blanket two distinct looks.

The blanket is a soft blend of wool and cotton and is perfect as a throw, a bed covering for a full or queen sized bed, or a wall hanging. A sewn-on, suede patch signed and numbered by the artist accompanies each blanket.

The Lena blanket was released in 2014 and has been featured in Elle Decor and Casa Vogue.

This beautiful, hand-tufted, 100% wool rug is adapted from the 1951 oil on masonite painting by Josef Albers. The rug is available in a limited edition of 150 and produced in association with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.

Jeff Koons's "Split Rocker Snow Globe" was produced in 2000 by Galerie Jerome du Noirmont, France on the occasion of the exhibition "Le Beaute, Avignon." This limited edition resin and plexiglass snow globe features a brightly colored, miniature replica of the original "Split Rocker" topiary in front of the Fondation Beyeler. Edition information and artist's name are printed on the bottom of the snow globe, and the original packaging is in tact.

A limited number of this exceptional pop-up book remain available and the price will increase as the edition sells out.  

Kara Walker created this pop-up book in 1997.  In it, she combines a narrative written in her own baroque style with her signature silhouette images. Initially conceived for the Peter Norton Family Christmas Project, this book is an excellent example of an artist successfully translating his/her visual vocabulary into a functional work while maintaining the essence of their oeuvre.

Kara Walker was born in Stockton, California and raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The youngest child of a college professor/painter and a banker, she received her formal art education at the Rhode Island School of Design. Walker gained early fame for her large-scale works of precisely drawn black-paper silhouette dramas caricaturing the lives of slaves and masters in the Antebellum American South.

Cindy Sherman has created this Limoges porcelain 21-piece tea service in a limited edition after the original design commissioned by the MADAME DE POMPADOUR (née Poisson) in 1756 at the Manufacture Royale de Sevres.

The self-portrait image of the artist as Madame de Pompadour has been transferred onto porcelain through a complex process which requires up to 16 photo-silkscreens. Each piece is silk-screened and painted at Ancienne Manufacture Royale, then individually signed and numbered.

This service is available in four traditional 18th-century colors: apple green, rose. royal blue and yellow. Each color is in an edition of 75.

To celebrate Bernardaud's 150th anniversary, Jeff Koons made a series of beautiful, limited edition porcelain objects with the famed porcelain maker in Limoges, France.

With Landscape Mobile, Roy Lichstenstein has designed a beautiful “art system” as a table centerpiece. Invoking Alexander Calder’s standing mobiles, Lichtenstein termed this piece a “stabile", but it is in fact a non-moving object representing a tall tree set in a green basin intended to be filled with flowers. To create a sense of moveable, balancing parts, Lichtenstein added an abstracted background of clouds, rain, and a bright yellow sun. This porcelain and cast resin stabile can be viewed from all four sides and its thin profile makes it an ideal and unobtrusive centerpiece.

Manufactured by Bernardaud in Limoges, France. The edition of 125 is signed and numbered.

Created in 2003, the "Mirror Box (Kangaroo)" by Jeff Koons includes the blue kangaroo mirror, the DVD "Jeff Koons / A Man of Trust," (documentary by Judit Kele and Patrick Javault, 2002) and the custom, silver box. Each example from the edition of 2,000 is signed, dated and numbered.

Our partners at The Skateroom, who collaborated with the artist's estate to make this edition, donate a significant part of their profit to support social initiatives that make the world a better place.  For each edition sold, these proceeds will be donated to support the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and Skateistan, a non-profit that uses skateboarding and education for youth empowerment in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa.

Petite Vénus Bleue (1956/57) by Yves Klein features a brass pin covered in International Klein Bleue (IKB) pigment and shaped as one of Klein's Vénus Bleue figures. The pin is mounted perpendicularly to a gold-leafed, acrylic backdrop that attaches to a gold-leafed acrylic base. The acrylic box that encloses the object removes completely and is not attached to the base.

This work is from an edition of 100 artist proofs and each example features the etched edition number on the back of the pin. The multiple was published by his estate under T.A.T Arts & Stéphane Klein with whom we work directly.

The dimensions with the box are 4 13/16 x 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 inches.

The dimensions without the base are 4 9/16 x 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 inches.

The pin is approximately 2 1/4 x 1 x 3/16 inches.

An elongated map of a specific patch of sky, The Center Is Everywhere by celebrated artist Josiah McElheny bursts with information. Though its conceptual underpinnings may elude the casual spectator, each of the work’s elements denotes a stellar corollary: the isolated crystals near the top act as single stars, globular crystal clusters signify galaxies, and the longest rods capped with lightbulbs represent distant quasars. Captivating in its lustrous sheen, the [object] obscures its astronomical origins while stoking the guileless, childlike attraction toward all that flickers and shines. (Excerpt from Taylor Walsh: Study for the Center is Everywhere)

Each of the twelve examples from this limited edition were custom-fabricated in New York City. They feature a brass canopy and more than 60 Swarovski crystals illuminated by 11 hanging bulbs. The adjustable chain allows for various ceiling heights as McElheny prefers the piece to hover 6 inches above the floor giving it a human-like scale. A signed and numbered copy of the French revolutionary Auguste Blanqui's cosmological treatise, Eternity Through the Stars: An Astronomical Hypothesis, which partially inspired McElheny, accompanies each edition. This is the first time this text has been translated from its original French into English, and is a custom-publication made for this edition.

Sol LeWitt’s Coffee table is one of the most historically significant examples of artist-designed furniture of the 20th century and relates both conceptually and visually to the artist’s body of work.

The history of Coffee table began in 1965 when LeWitt made his very first table by painting a white-lined grid on a painted grey, wooden top. Fifteen years later for a multiples exhibition at Marion Goodman Gallery, and as a “follow-up” to the 1965 example, LeWitt made the white-painted poplar Coffee table with an open grid pattern and a 3/8" glass top. The black walnut version was introduced soon thereafter.

Artware Editions works directly with The Estate of Sol LeWitt and is pleased to offer both variations of this table fabricated by the same exceptional craftsperson who worked with the artist during his celebrated lifetime.

Coffee table is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the artist’s estate. All tables are considered a custom order and fabricated upon receipt of payment. Please allow 6 – 8 weeks for the white table, and 8 – 10 weeks for the black walnut.

David Shrigley writes about his Brass Tooth edition, "Brass Tooth is one of the heaviest small artworks that I have made. I imagine it will appeal to dentists and other people who are interested in teeth. It could also be used for cracking nuts with."

Limited to 80 examples and nearly sold out, Brass Tooth is solid, polished brass and comes in a wooden box that is hand-signed and numbered by the artist.

Cindy Sherman has created this Limoges porcelain tureen set in a limited edition after the original design commissioned by Madame de Pompadour (née Poisson) in 1756 at the Manufacture Royale de Sevres.

The self-portrait image of the artist as Madame de Pompadour has been transferred onto porcelain through a complex process which requires up to 16 photo-silkscreens. Each tureen and platter is silk-screened and painted at Ancienne Manufacture Royale, fired on four different occasions, and then individually signed and numbered.

This tureen is originally available in four traditional 18th-century colors: apple green, rose (SOLD OUT), royal blue. and yellow (SOLD OUT). Each color is in an edition of 25.

This fully functional chopping block by Juan Muñoz offers a disquieting quasi-narrative. The hand motif, seen here in a most literal use, reoccurred often in the artist's body of work. Chopping Block features a hand-carved, wooden hand sculpture holding a real knife with a wooden handle. This edition was completed during the time of the artist's death in 2001 and was seen to fruition by his wife, the artist Cristina Iglesias, in 2002.

This iconic table is from the edition begun in 1963 under the supervision of Yves Klein’s widow, Rotraut Klein-Moquay, based on two models he designed in 1961.  Klein died suddenly in 1962 and other than these two original models owned by his estate there are no vintage tables. From 1963 to the present, the Yves Klein Archives has overseen the production of this coffee table and there has only ever been the one, continuous edition.  The estate does not recognize tables produced earlier in the edition as any more valuable than the brand new ones we sell today.  Each table has a signed and numbered placard of authenticity issued by the estate affixed to the underside. 

The table is available in the three materials most common to Klein's work: International Klein Blue (IKB) pigment, rose pigment, and gold leaf.  The tables are a controlled edition which means the estate produces a limited number each year. The exact number produced of each variation is not made public though, certainly in the early years, few, if any, tables were made. Over the last decade the tables have been in more demand but no more than about 40 - 60 tables in total, inclusive of all three variations, are produced each year.  

The table comes in one size, 14¼ h. x 49¼ x 39¼ inches (36 x 125 x 100 cm), and customization is not possible. The sides and base of the table are plexiglass but the top is a more durable glass making the table very functional and easy to maintain. The tables ship directly from the estate in Paris and must be installed upon arrival. If you are in the New York area then Artware will directly handle the installation. If you are elsewhere in the world, we will locate installers and oversee the process from beginning to end.

In 2001, The Keith Haring Foundation and ABC Carpet in NYC partnered to issue a special run of thirty rugs to benefit downtown arts organizations affected by the 9/11 tragedy. The Keith Haring Foundation selected this design originally created for the 1986 Liberty Centennial. The design depicts three of Haring's signature cartoon figures in a muted yellow at the base of the Statue of Liberty dancing or jumping in celebration against a deep red background.

This rug example is # 4/30 and is in excellent condition. It's made from 100% virgin wool and crafted in Nepal. It still has attached to the backside the original tag issued by the fabricators that shows the Foundation's stamp and the hand-written edition number.
