Gratitude Collection

Based on the continuing Visible Markers project developed by Allan McCollum, this Visible Marker featuring the message “THANKS” is an object that obtains its significance through the process of its exchange. It serves as a constant reminder of the importance of giving and receiving gratitude and appreciation. Present this humble memento to friends, co-workers and loved ones so it can live with them as a token of thanks.

This object comes in a simple and beautiful custom box for easy gifting.

This 100% linen kitchen or tea towel features a digital print from the always popular Scottish artist David Shrigley. We always recommend all the kitchen towels as excellent gifts, but don't forget about the possibility of framing them as art.

Made in collaboration with David Shrigley and our partners at Third Drawer Down Studio.

The Broken Juice Glass is a limited edition set of four different glasses conceived by Roy McMakin, exclusively for Artware Editions. For this edition, the artist has taken the simplicity of four small glasses and imposed on them a complex reworking of the aphorisms “THINGS CHANGE” and “CHANGE THINGS”. Because of their transparency and shape, McMakin is able to use the seriality of the glasses to play out a conceptual progression: the first glass is clear, on the second the phrasing is shown in its entirety on the front of the glass, and on the third and fourth the text is printed in a band around the glass but appears to be illegible. One must perfectly line up the fragmented text (a greater challenge from the third to the fourth) from the front through to the back of these to make sense of the parts. When the glasses are full, the front text appears incoherent but as the glass empties things change and all is clear.

McMakin’s art practice explores how functionality influences meaning within the medias of sculpture, photography, design, and architecture. He has had recent solo exhibitions at such prestigious venues as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; and Matthew Marks Gallery, New York. He lives and works in Seattle.

This dinner service consists of six porcelain dinner plates designed by Prune Nourry and JR, and fabricated by Bernardaud. There are two each of three different designs that are printed on both sides of each plate. The verso of each plate shows details of the service, the artist's signature, and Bernardaud's stamp.

In the artist's own words:

"In this project, Prune and I wanted to focus on a man's most essential "tool," his hands, which can function as a drinking cup or as eating utensils. As Darwin put it: "Man could not have attained his present dominant position in the world without the use of his hands." Here, our hands have been photographed.... Prune and I live in New York where we initiated a community of artists that holds big dinners every month. Everybody cooks, everybody brings something. The dinner table is a nerve center where we share a taste for good things, the art of living well!

This limited edition lenticular by Ligorano/Reese shifts between the words "for" and "ever" in bright blue and yellow text. It is the fourth piece in Edges, a series of lenticular panels animating words concerned with the limits of space and time.

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. 

This beautiful, porcelain table centerpiece doubles as an oval platter and features complimentary images on both sides. The top shows two hands interlaced together, palms up. The underside shows the same hands interlaced but palms down.
