This attractive, illuminated Moose Head was photographed by me in the booth for Norway-based Modular Furniture Design firm Ope, at the Javits Center in NYC, during the ICFF show, in May, 2016. No Moose was killed to make this awesome lamp.

Deer Trophy with Tits

There is no denying that the above sculpture is a mortifying horrorshow of excruciatingly bad taste.   Who on earth would want to own this Deer Trophy Sculpture with Tits? A misogynist hunter who’s only 12 years old? Maybe I’m just not in on the joke. See more work by artist Andres Amaya, including fish with tits and ducks with tits, at This Link!

Bust of Gustav Mahler By Auguste Rodin

Bust of Gustav Mahler
Photo By Gail

Ascetic, sharp features give this bust (circa 1909) of conductor/composer Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) an aristocratic look. Mahler modeled for Rodin, though the sittings were difficult to endure for the nervous composer, who saw rest as “time wasted away from his work.” This, according to his wife, Alma Mahler.

Trivia: After Mahler’s death in 1911 (at age 5o) from a bacterial infection of the heart valve, Alma Mahler went on to be married to Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus, for five years.
