While I am finalizing some existing projects, I am also starting some new ones. Took the day to sift through years and years of archives with Tommy.

The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida has put together the first exhibition of Alexander Calder’s jewelry. Consisting of necklaces, bracelets, pins, earrings, and tiaras that were mostly given to friends and family.

The show is accompanied by a book published on the occasion of the exhibition.

Spent the afternoon at the new Incase design studio in SF, finalizing some projects that will be hitting the market soon.

I wish that I could go into more specifics but secrets are secrets…

Got my Nasa knife recently from the Gagosian. These versions never did make it to space, but cool nonetheless. You should take a look at this recent interview with Tom over at Wallpaper.

Richard Neutra’s iconic Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, California, a masterpiece of Post-War art and architecture, was designed and created between 1946 and 1947 as a winter desert retreat for Pittsburgh department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann. Kaufmann also commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous Fallingwater, his weekend home near Pittsburgh.

The Kaufmann House is being offered exclusively by Christie’s Realty International, Inc. and in California by Christie’s Great Estates, Inc. It is to be sold on the night of Christie’s Post-War & Contemporary Evening Sale, 13 May 2008, 7:00 pm at 20 Rockefeller Plaza, New York.

Along with Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and Philip Johnson’s Glass House, Neutra’s Kaufmann House is one the most important examples of modernist residential architecture in the Americas and remains singular as the most important example of mid-century modernist architecture in the Americas to remain in private hands. Estimate: $15,000,000-25,000,000.

The RedBall Project is a mobile sculptural performance by artist Kurt Perschke that functions as a series of daily architectural installations over a period of one to three weeks. The RedBall is boldly present and smoothly transient, moving between locations and engaging people on the street.

Five years in the making and occupying an 8,000-square-foot gallery, Noah’s Ark at the Skirball welcomes children and families to take this journey together.

Inside a floor-to-ceiling wooden ark, filled to the rafters with whimsical animals, all crafted from recycled materials and everyday objects, including bottle caps, bicycle parts, baseball mitts, croquet balls, mop heads, and rear-view mirrors.

At the Skirball Center in Los Angeles.
