Spring Collection

In the early 1980s, Sol LeWitt and his family bought a rustic farmhouse in Spoleto, Italy. While in Rome looking for new dishes, he and his wife, Carol, discovered that the maiolica pottery they so admired was made locally, almost in their backyard, in Deruta. Italy. The craftspeople in Deruta were continuing the more than 600 year old tradition of creating maiolica, a technique of applying a glossy base glaze whitened with tin oxide onto fired clay pottery. Vivid, hand-painted colors are then added and the pieces are fired again.

LeWitt designed his own dinnerware in Deruta and these same pieces are now available through Artware Editions in the full range of colors the artist intended. Each piece is made by hand by the same artisans who for generations have kept this proud and classic Italian tradition alive. This dinnerware is lead-free and dishwasher safe.

If we do not already have it in stock. the fabrication time is approximately 12 weeks.

This set of four cork board coasters by Louise Bourgeois shows the reproductions of fabric pages from the artist's Ode À La Bièvre book. The set comes in a custom box for easy gifting and storage.

Made in collaboration with the artist's studio and our partners at Third Drawer Down Studio.

Originally designed as a limited edition sculptural piece, cast in heavy polyurethane resin, the David Shrigley Swan has been blown up, literally. This inflatable swan may be missing the graceful curves true to a classic swan, but with its hand-drawn blank expression and erect white neck, it knows exactly what it is, it is a "Ridiculous Inflatable Swan-Thing." Named lovingly by David Shrigley himself, the statuesque swan stands at 35 inches tall and comprises all that is to love about Shrigley's charismatic work, while also being pool-ready.

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.

Jeff Koons's Tulips coupe service plate is a 12.5" limited edition porcelain plate fabricated by the famed porcelain maker Bernardaud in Limoges, France. It is packaged in a presentation box and is dishwasher safe but not microwaveable.

‘‘It is about a calendar year and how we may perceive different things within the course of a year. You can look at the Tulips painting or the sculpture Tulips and maybe it will make you think of Spring. I have always enjoyed flowers. Since taking art lessons as a child, I have had flowers in my work. I always like the sense that a flower just displays itself. The viewer always finds grace in a flower. Flowers are a symbol that life goes forward.’’

Robert Lazzarini's work often recreates and then subverts everyday objects thereby confounding the viewer's expectations and challenging ideas of perception. For this edition, which was originally conceived for the Peter Norton Family Christmas Project, the artist used complex non-linear distortion and composited attributes of different cups and saucers to arrive at an archetypal object. He first drew the cup and saucer using three-dimensional modeling software and then found a well-proportioned spoon and laser-scanned it directly into the computer. He next applied multiple sine wave patterns along different axes through these virtual objects. After finishing the virtual modeling stage, Lazzarini created a series of rapid prototypes reproducing the rendering in 3D form. Designed to be viewed from all angles, Teacup becomes a visual anomaly placed among everyday items, evoking a melancholic, otherworldly quality.

In order to suggest years of use, each cup is hand-finished by Lazzarini and features a small chip in the rim.

These unisex, limited edition sunglasses by Raymond Pettibond is available in black/white and tortoiseshell. Pettibon’s work is universally known for his blending of high and low culture, taking points of departure from the Southern California punk-rock culture of the late 1970s and 1980s and the “do-it-yourself” aesthetic of album covers, comics, concert flyers, and fanzines. His iconic text “I thought California would be different,” which first appeared in his 1989 serigraph by the same name, appears here across the arm of the L.A. RAYS style sunglasses. Putting Pettibon’s longing text on the arm of sunglasses–L.A.’s ubiquitous accessory–highlights the darker side of the California Dream.

Each color is limited to 100 examples.

The subject of flowers illustrates Warhol’s serial principle perhaps more succinctly and yet more poetically than any other.  Thus, in depicting flowers, the natural potential of plants to proliferate is combined with their technical reproducibility as decorative motifs for mass production.

Although the fragile and ephemeral nature of flowers was transferred by Warhol to the realm of monumentality, an air of vulnerability and nostalgia also clings to his Flowers. In fact, his first flower pictures followed on directly from his Disaster series, in which he focused on media images revolving around death. Warhol’s Flowers can, therefore, also be seen in light of flowers as a symbol of fugacity and death.” - Dr Raphaël Bouvier, Curator, Beyeler Foundation

Our partners at The Skateroom, who collaborated with The Andy Warhol Foundation and The Beyeler Foundation 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, $180 will be donated to support Skateistan, a non-profit that uses skateboarding and education for youth empowerment in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa.  This  amount is the equivalent of learning supplies for their Skate and Create programs worldwide for one week (including art supplies and basic skate supplies).
