NEW ART:

This past June, Daniel Arsham took to his Instagram account to unveil a series of sculptures portraying eroded magazine publications. One of the more standout pieces was his version of a Vogue issue crafted using quartz, selenite, and hydrostone materials. Sized roughly at 47 7/8 x 36 1/2 inches, the three-dimensional artwork was recently sold at a Phillips’ 20th Century & Contemporary Art auction in Hong Kong. The final hammer price for the work was 2.3 million HKD (approx. $ 200k USD).

A portion of the proceeds from the sale will go directly to the HOCA Foundation to support the institute’s future initiatives and help the “foundation democratize art and enrich the cultural life of Hong Kong,” as per HOCA in a statement. In addition to Arsham’s sculptural pieces, other participating artists who have donated works directly for the benefit auction include Futura, José Parlá, Felipe Pantone, Cleon Peterson, VHILS, Shepard Fairey, and Erik Parker.

Last year, maharishi partnered with legendary graffiti writer TEACH for a “Yeah of the Pig” capsule collection that launched alongside the British artist’s “They Taste Yeah Yeah” exhibition. The duo are teaming up again for a limited edition print, entitled ‘Each One Teach One.’

The hand-screen printed artwork features TEACH’s signature script in contrasting blue, red and white colors. The words, emboldened by a thick black outline and surrounded by paint-like drips, give the 420 x 594 mm print a sense of depth. maharishi explains the importance of its ongoing collaborations with the graffiti artist: “TEACH, who has been active since the ’90s and a member of London’s infamous DDS crew, the Kings of the London Underground, has influenced a whole generation of younger writers from his ethos on the culture to his hand style, throw-up’s, trains and consistency.”

Available in an edition of 30, TEACH’s ‘Each One Teach One’ print is available to purchase now for £75 (approx. $95 USD) on maharishi’s website and at its store location in London. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist.

Multimedia artist Dean Stockton aka D*Face and celebrated visual artist Ron English are collaborating with Made by Monsters for a 15-inch sculpture. Merging D*Face’s iconic D*Dog character with English’s Grin Skull, the resulting sculpture showcases both artists’ street art inspirations and pop-surrealist style.

While the D*Dog-inspired silhouette is plastered with an eerie expression, the painted gold and silver exterior gives it a luxe finish. A translucent pole mounts the vinyl figure onto a metal pyramid base, creating the impression that the figure hovers in the air.

Take a look at the collaborative edition in the gallery above. Limited to 250 pieces, each sculpture will retail for $250 USD. A limited pre-release will take place at DesignerCon 2019 from November 22 to 24 at 3D Retro Booth #1905. D*Face will be available to sign the sculptures over the duration of the convention at select times.
