Robert Indiana (American, 1928-2018) was one of the major figures in American art in the second half of the 20th Century. He played a central role in the development of assemblage art, hard-edge painting, and Pop art. His work explores American identity, personal history, and the power of abstraction and language. Equally a painter, print maker, sculptor, and poet it has been hard to categorize Indiana’s work and fit him into a particular style.

Robert Indiana’s LOVE that uses the unmistakable slanted ‘O’ within a square format first, appeared in 1964 in a series of frottage drawings in graphite and colored pencil.  Indiana further developed his concept through a series of paintings, sculpture and prints. Love was a subject of great spiritual significance for the artist.  The image’s popularity emphasizes its great resonance with large and diverse audiences, and has become an icon of modern art.

Carrie Mae Weems (born April 20, 1953) is an American multi-media artist working in text, audio, instillation, video, textiles and most notably photography. She rose to prominence in the 1990s following her photographic project, The Kitchen Table Series that depicts a fictional drama with Weems as the lead. The series explores the constantly shifting roles of women as lover, mother, daughter, and friend, giving viewers an intimate look at a woman's interior life. Weems's work is steeped in Black history and often serves as contemporary discourse on topics such as familial relationships, cultural identity, systems of oppression, politics, and the consequences of power.

Over the course of her career, Weems has received countless honors, including the Prix de Roma, the National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship, and the MacArthur “Genius Grant.” In 2014, she became the first Black woman to mount a retrospective at the Guggenheim, and her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Modern, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

 

Inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat's painting Riddle Me This, Batman (1987), this large candle has a beautiful scent of woody amber.  Once done, the porcelain bowl can be reused as a vessel.  This candle comes in a beautiful box for easy gifting.

Man Ray designed this elegant chess set because of his lifelong friendship with Marcel Duchamp who was an avid chess player. He sought to use pure geometric forms associated historically and figuratively with the pieces they represent. The King represents the Egyptian king's pyramid; the Queen is the conical headdress of a medieval queen; the Bishop represents a flask for concocting healing liqueurs; and the Knight is based on a favorite form -- the carved scroll found on a violin. Only a handful were ever produced in Man Ray's lifetime (the maharajah of Indore commissioned a set made from silver-plated brass), and this re-issued design is rendered in wood and based on an original example from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.

A solid beech wood chessboard that beautifully compliments this set is also available for $290.

These functional pint glasses by Nick Cave feature four of his Soundsuits that are wearable sculptures that blend sculpture and fashion.  Originally a response to the Rodney King riots, the Soundsuits are a protective skin or shield to ward off the hate and violence and shield the wearer's identity.  Over time, these incredible works of art have evolved into symbols of empowerment.

This is a limited edition set of four pint glasses that are fully functional, dishwasher safe and ready for a cold beer.
