Three favorites at Miami fair

Aaron Young at work

While in Miami, Bortolami Gallery invited us to see Aaron Young burning rubber. He is well known for this work, but to see them being produced is pretty rad. Both works were bought on-the-spot by collectors. To see more of Aaron's work click here.

Color as Art, Art as Furiture

I recently saw a beautiful table filled with ultramarine blue pigment by Yves Klein and it reminded me of Elizabeth Paige Smith's (slightly) more affordable "Blow" tables.

eBay! Popup! Store!

I just stopped by the Ebay Pop-Up Store on 57th Street (and 5th Ave) to visit Zem from Eco Fabulous.

New York – eBay today opened its first pop-up store, a 5,500-square-foot shop in midtown Manhattan dubbed “eBay @ 57^th St.” Located at 57^th Street and 5^th Avenue, the store offers samples of 400 products, which shoppers then purchase online from eBay sellers using touch-screen kiosks or eBay’s iPhone app. eBay’s trend experts will be in-store to offer advice, and eBay will have personal shoppers on hand as well.

The store also will feature on display one-of-a-kind items including from designers and celebrities that will be sold to benefit charity. In addition, all online purchases made at the pop-up shop will be matched dollar-for-dollar by eBay, up to $200,000.

The store will operate through Nov. 29, although it will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. Hours 10 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Sundays.

On Black Friday, Nov. 27, doors will open at 7 a.m.

Racey!

I love DAG.

I saw an amazing play on Broadway last night. "Race" is written and directed by David Mamet and stars James Spader, Kerry Washington, Richard Thomas and David Alan Grier. The play is a dramatic exploration of a case about the rape of an African American woman. Race comes into play between the accused and accuser, the client and lawyers, and between the lawyers themselves. Ultimately it was a brilliant study on how we behave and why when it comes to race. GO SEE IT!
