Designed by Yve Thelermont and David Hupton in 2006, these wonderfully designed clocks have made their way to the MoMA Store. The clocks are made of powder-coated steel fitted with aluminum hands. “This atypical version of a typical clock is designed to be displayed at the edge of a shelf or mantel. Eye-catching, it appears to be only the top half of a clock, but the hands fully rotate.”

Now until August 2nd, “The Pictures Generation,” will be on display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The show features works from post-WWII America, with much inspiration drawn from films, television, magazines and advertising. These artists used representational forms to illustrate the media’s influence on individuals and society as a whole. A decade of artwork from 1974 to 1984 is covered, when movements like feminism and gay rights were coming to the forefront and challenging social constructs.

All-in-all, there are 160 works from all media outlets from thirty artists. The exhibition is made possible by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation and The Andy Warhol Foundation.

Originally created in 1996, the unique design of the block lamp has been a favorite for over a decade. Designed by Harri Koskinen, the lamp continues to be among Design House Stockholm’s most popular products and has numerous design awards and accolades to its credit.

It was put into the Museum of Modern Art New York collection in 2000. This 10-year anniversary edition features an accent of color in the form of a new red woven cord.

MoMA has redesigned its website and added some much-appreciated features such as a blog, interactive content, and more dynamic online galleries. I have to say though that no online tour can ever match making a trip to the actual museum.

Property values in Manhattan are showing no signs of falling, and that includes those lucrative corners for vendors. I personally fancy that little spot over on 53rd and 6th that serves one delicious lamb and rice combo.

Pasang Sherpa is a hot dog vendor that just paid $362,201 for the food-vending rights for the north entrance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He paid $81,701 more than what he paid for the south entrance when MoMA auctioned off the sales rights to two of its corners.
