Do you like to have nice things? I sure do. I saw this Hot Pink Leather Biker Jacket hanging all alone on a rack at Bergdorf Goodman. The little silver tag inside the neckline says Georgio Armani, so I was afraid to look at the price tag. However, I did rub it between my fingers, and it was very soft, like a little baby lamb.
Even the back of it is insane looking. Want!

Many of Charles Ray’s best-known works are remakes of objects and people taken from the real world. Small but significant alterations to familiar situations give Ray’s practice a disquieting tension. Cloaked in simplicity, his often humorous creations comment on sculpture’s history, from its austere formal issues to its surreal psychological consequences. Ray imbues the tenets of classical sculpture, such as beauty, proportion, and facture, with a sly drama by inserting slippages, imperfections, or over–perfections in the physical makeup of his works. Fall ’91 (1992) depicts a woman standing with her weight mostly on one foot in a common contrapposto pose. Modeled on a mannequin scaled to 8 feet tall, the sculpture looms large in a pink power suit that was fashionable in the fall of 1991. The result is both physically and psychologically daunting.
