The Pace Gallery in NYC is currently showing a sweet exhibit on artists' depictions of the incandescent light bulb. Since the weather was gorgeous this weekend K and I decided to spend it outside visiting some galleries and the Highline. We came to the light bulb exhibit on recommendation from a friend that works at Pace, and it turned out to be one of the gallery walk's highlights. The exhibit is set up more like a museum - focusing on a theme with multiple artists, and none of the work is for sale. It's really fascinating (really, it is!) to see how far the light bulb has come and now that most of us are on the phasing out-incandescents-bandwagon, to see where it's going. (Check out the Wall Street Journal review too)
One of my favorite pieces from the exhibit by Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto.
A lovely light bulb for sale at this Etsy shop.
AND for a Highline, light bulb collaboration...voila:
