Karen O’Leary is seriously detail-oriented. She has to be to create these City Map Cuts. They are beautiful, truly one-of-a-kind. And as most things one-of-a-kind are, they are now sold out. She does have some negative space maps using pencil and paper still for sale though. For more photos and details go here.
Beginning November 5, 2009, Hauser & Wirth New York will present WHITESNOW, a group of never before seen pieces from a new body of work by Paul McCarthy, drawing upon the famous 19th century German folk tale ‘Snow White’ (‘Schneewittchen’) and commenting upon the modern interpretation of the story in Disney’s beloved 1937 animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Really how could it not be with such a great assortment of names (Damien Hirst, Kenny Scharf, Marc Newson, KAWS, Shepard Fairey, and Yoshimoto Nara) customizing a sick model bike for charity. The result of each bike that went up for auction is in the slideshow, and the final tally was “$1,125,000 going directly to The Lance Armstrong Foundation to help fund outreach, awareness, research, and advocacy.”
Well, it’s actually a mold of them being auctioned off for the Keep-A-Breast Foundation. With four days left, bidding is over $70,000 and expect that to climb further into that who-would-spend-that-money-on-her-but-at-least-it’s-for-a-good-cause zone.
Available for purchase immediately are these two prints, Yellow Cans and Blankets, that Shepard Fairey created for the benefit of L.E.A.D. Uganda. Each in an edition of 450, and measuring 18″ x 24″, all of the proceeds from the $75 print go to support the special children of Uganda.
