Marianne Boesky Gallery recently hosted an exhibit that looked so wildly engaging in photos that I had to leave my house to investigate. Â In the Distance There Was a Glimpse, an exhibition of new work by Franco-Russian artist Apollinaria Broche (b. 1995) did not disappoint.

Even the fragrance name, “Pink Vanilla Kiss Fantasy” sounds almost edible. And I guess that is what good advertising is all about: compelling you to purchase a product based solely on how it looks on the shelf. Oh, the Pinkness.
