SUMMER PICKS

The best selling pool float by David Shrigley now has a buddy - in black!  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.

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 eight different napkins by Laura Letinsky and John Paul Morabito are made of a fine Spanish unbleached cotton and linen blend. Unexpectedly elegant and substantial in weight, each napkin has woven into the naturally colored fabric a digitally-configured spill pattern. With use, these napkins will acquire an on-going patina as evidence of conviviality. The Stain napkins embrace smears and dabs, both in their quiet beauty as well as a record of your life well-lived.

Machine washable. Card with edition information attached.

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. The collection includes a vase, a serving platter, decorative plates, dinner plates, and cup/saucer sets. All of the objects are packaged in presentation boxes and crafted from the same fine, glazed porcelain. The dinnerware is dishwasher safe but, not microwaveable.

These hand-crafted and hand-finished cutting boards by Deborah Ehrlich are each made from a single piece of maple and finished with a beeswax and oil blend. Ehrlich was inspired to create a feminine, simple and sweet design for her daughter after an unsuccessful search for a cutting board that seemed the right fit for a young girl in the kitchen. The beautiful, slender proportion of the board and the comfortable handle with a hole for hanging make these as wonderful for display as for use.

Individually packaged in simple gift box.

Not recommended for the dishwasher as this will dry the wood and accelerate cracking.
