This tray features a design of black, white and red on a black lacquered tray. The artist's signature is featured both on the side and bottom.

The tray comes in a black cotton satchel and cardboard box which presents beautifully for a great gift.

Jenny Holzer’s work is defined by her use of text. Whether questioning, describing, or lamenting a specific object or theme, her work’s true purpose is to agitate and disturb its audience at the core – a technique particularly effective when displayed in public spaces and mistaken for an advertisement. For this collaboration, the political turmoil and unrest that revolves around the Trump presidency in the U.S. takes center stage for a limited edition of art decks.

Our partners at The Skateroom, who collaborated with the artist's estate to make this edition, donate 10% of the proceeds from this edition to the organizations Change the Ref and vote.org.

We love a good art history pun and we've found it with this boxed wall clock features whimsical illustrations that outline the history of art with smiley faces appropriately altered in the styles of famous artists. One AA battery required (not included).

This Limoges porcelain plate features a detail from Jean-Michel Basquiat's work Pez Dispenser (1984) and comes in a custom gift box. The verso shows details about the plate and the artist's stamped signature. Fabricated in Limoges, France in collaboration with the artist's estate.

Yinka Shonibare's work explores issues of race and class through different media including sculpture, painting, photography, and installation art. For this edition, Shonibare designed a dollhouse that is a replica of the 1872 Victorian town house in the East End of London where he now lives. By replicating his own house, the artist comments on the 18th century tradition of dollhouses being commissioned objects that were exact miniature replicas of larger homes for elite and well-to-do families.

As in many of his other projects, Dutch wax print cloth figures prominently in this dollhouse with the chairs and bed are covered in the fabric. To impart a lived-in quality, Shonibare selected furniture in various woods and styles to fill the rooms. The two-story house includes cabinets, chairs, tables, fireplaces, and a canopy bed, along with reproductions of paintings by Shonibare and Jean-Honor‚ Fragonard.

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.

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 is not attached and the top can be removed.

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

Through the opening at the head of the phallus a distorted image of Sandro Botticelli’s Birth of Venus can be seen. Botticelli’s original image depicted the birth of Venus, the goddess of the sea, standing on a shell, the female ideal as the object of mythology and desire. Shonibare has replaced the female nude with a
photograph of a well-endowed naked male.

”I intended this piece as both playful and serious: it looks like an adult sex toy, but it is also a serious comment on patriarchy, and the objectification of the female body in the media, by what film theorist Laura Mulvey called the ‘male gaze’. KALEIDOSCOPE was meant as ‘one for the ladies’…though I think it may appeal to some Gentlemen too…’ [Yinka Shonibare MBE, 2015].

This object can also be seen as a subversive take on 19th century Victoriana, and specifically the ‘peep show’ images of women viewed through devices such as a kaleidoscope.

As with Shonibare’s celebrated work on the Fourth Plinth, ‘Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle’, ‘Kaleidoscope’ reclaims an object from a familiar British tradition and subverts it through the bold use of batik patterns and by transforming the shape into that of a phallus.

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.

This music box by Christian Marclay incorporates a sly triple word play: “Silent” on the box’s exterior, “Listen” on the interior, and “Tinsel," the name of the composition, are anagrams of one another. Untitled (Music Box) was made in Sainte-Croix by Reuge, the last remaining manufacturer of music boxes in Switzerland. For this project, Marclay composed “Tinsel,” a seamless melodic loop that incorporates the gradual slowing of the unwinding mechanism within the box.

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.

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!

Finally, the ever-popular Shrigley "Swan" has been made into one more ridiculous must-have, now in the form of a stress toy.  It's packaged in a great peek-a-boo box and you can squeeze this toy in wonderful ways to make it crude and love-able.

These exquisite, lovely and refined "Hurricane Lanterns" by renowned glassware designer Deborah Ehrlich are a sophisticated answer to the traditional form. Each set (available in small, medium or large) consists of three differently sized glass cylinders that nest together. These three cylinders are then placed around a paraffin wax holder available in eight beautiful metal finishes and two glass versions in varying thicknesses. The very thin and delicate cylinders provide a looping surface that the flame dances off of to create a multiple of reflections.

Each small, medium or large lantern consists of three nesting glass cylinders and one fuel cell holder available in a variety of finishes.

Paraffin fuel cells are sold separately. Replacement parts are available.
