ebrink06 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I do sales at an art gallery. If you commission a specific wall sculpture I will match my profits and donate it all to FDR. Why? My director insists that no anarchist would ever spend $900 on a decorative bowl because they don't believe in capitalism or money! I would love for us to prove her wrong! It doesn't count if I buy one, so I'm putting it out to the entire community. If you enjoy contemporary art, have wall space, and disposable income, read on.... Here's a link to his work: http://peterskidd.com/homepage/skidd-portfolio/ Also check out the videos on the home page of him in action. His pieces turn out pretty cool. The way he works the metal and glazes it really allows light to refract across the piece like nothing I've seen before. He also clear coats them so they can go inside or outside. (They'd look amazing on a patio with the flickering light from a fire for instance) The specific peice that fueled this conversation was a version of one of his bowls "Furnace II" (21" x 21" x 5", $960) whose markings looked to me like an 'A'. So I lovingly called it "the anarchy bowl". "The anarchy bowl" has since sold (most likely to an unsuspecting statist ), so this is the peice you would be commissioning. Since it is a commission, you can have your anarchy bowl in whatever colors or size you like. It is constructed in steel, but is light and can be hung easily wth just one screw. We do ship- the director can give you a quote based on your location. This offer extends to every anarchist who wants one to the point I'm still employed at the gallery. To commission a peice call Renee Taylor Gallery and ask for Krista. 928-282-7130 Or email her at: [email protected] She's there every day except Tuesday. You can tell her you're interested in commissioning a peice by Skidd. When she inquires further say you want an anarchy bowl! She'll take it from there being a liaison between you and the artist- getting an idea of your space, what colors and mood you want, etc. If you have any further questions for me, hit me up on the forum. And if you have a grand of disposable income and don't want an anarchy bowl- give it to FDR for goodness sake! Warm regards, Erin 1
Matt D Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Why? My director insists that no anarchist would ever spend $900 on a decorative bowl because they don't believe in capitalism or money! Hmmm, it might be possible that an anarchist would simply rather invest their capital in other areas, e.g. building a business, spreading philosophy, or forgoing a paycheck to commit to parenting. Nevertheless, these are very pretty pieces. I hope someone takes you up on the commission. 1
