hand-painted maiolica
13" diameter (31 cm)
stamped signature with a copyright on the verso
OBJECT DESCRIPTION
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 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.

Oops Phone Pool Float by Cindy Sherman

silk-screened inflatable pool float with metallic silver backing

packaged in premium gift box inside transparent PVC drawstring swim bag
open edition
OBJECT DESCRIPTION
This collectible pool float features a selfie taken by Cindy Sherman that strangely morphed with another photo in her device. “I took this photo to send to someone who knitted the hat for me (Helene Winer of Metro Pictures gallery, actually),” explains Sherman. "But, I also wanted to play around with some apps that I'd just started using and accidentally pressed a button that added some old setting onto this image. I thought it was a nice accident so I kept it."
Printed with silk-screen metallic backing, this design can be used as a functional pool float or sculptural object. It comes in a premium box inside a clear PVC swim bag printed with the artist’s motto, “I’d rather be swimming.”
The float was made in collaboration with Cindy Sherman and the non-profit + POOL which is building a water-filtering swimming pool in New York City’s East River. This is a true passion project and an extraordinary moment to present a rare open edition product by the wildly influential and collectable artist and swimmer.
Part of all proceeds benefit + POOL. Produced by our partners Third Drawer Down Studio.
