It was at the recent Coffee Fest New York that I spotted this fabulous Mosaic Mirrored Mushroom, in a soothing shade of  Pink, which was part of the booth display for Renude brand coffee beverages.  With a slogan like “Live Long, Die Pretty!” perhaps you will want to know more about them by clicking on that hyperlink in the previous sentence!

It’s been a minute since I visited the most recent Art Expo NY — which was pretty darn impressive this time around.  One of my favorite pink things from the show is  Capsule II (Pink), a Pink Rotary Dial Telephone surrounded by fluttering Monarch Butterflies and encased in a resin block.  This artwork by Diana Vurnbrand  (who is also well-known for her photography) sells for $4,500.

Tim Hawkinson’s body is the foundation of his art, whether a kinetic sculpture of collaged pictures of the artist’s face or intricate animal skeletons assembled out of his fingernail clippings. Fragmentation of the body is typically associated with death, though in Hawkinson’s work, the effect is perhaps more absurd than morbid.
