From the Spring/Summer 2009 Suno New York collection.

Suno New York‘s Spring/Summer 2009 collection is completely drool-worthy. Love the mix of prints and vibrant color. What’s even better is that each piece is made from vintage Kenyan kangas. Suno designer Max Osterweis has been collecting Kenyan kangas for some time and began making these pieces from the vintage cloth. Each piece is produced in Kenya by Kenyan artisans in small shops based on designs originating in New York. The result is a collection of 1000 unique and individually numbered pieces. According to the Pipeline, the range for this collection is $95-$595 and will be available at Opening Ceremony in NYC and LA. (via Refinery29 Pipeline)

Hunt and Gather Gocco 5 (phone), framed $85, unframed $55. Hunt and Gather Gocco 2 (perfume), framed $45, unframed $20. Both prints are signed and numbered limited edition multi-colour gocco prints with metallic ink in editions of 30.

Love the retro illustrations from Lab Partners in San Francisco. The limited-edition prints above are from their exhibition at the Outré Gallery called “Hunt and Gather.”

Check out their fab Etsy shop as well! (Gotta love letterpressed posters of San Francisco!)

#005, C-print mounted to plexi, 4th edition of 5. #003, C-print mounted to plexi, 4th edition of 5. Both works available at David Zwirner.

Attended the Biennial at the Whitney last night and saw a few artists that I absolutely loved. The first of which is James Welling. We actually had his book in the office a few months ago. His Torso series is exhibited in the Biennial but I knew him from the flower series seen above. Gorgeous color, love the graphic composition.

Selections from Rodney Smith.

Something would be seriously remiss if I didn’t mention the work of photographer Rodney Smith. Lately, I’ve seen it popping up all over the place. This work is some of the best I’ve seen in a very long time.

Take care to go through the archives and view his prints for sale. I’m currently coveting this one.

Bleed Deeply #2, edition of 125, $45.

My girl Tiphanie Brooke has just released two new limited edition lithographs. These are 18 x 24 and are the largest in size she’s ever released. Printed on Eames Canvas paper, these totally look amazing. The finish of the paper is perfectly suited for her collage style. I’ve used this paper before and I can tell you the effect is gorgeous.

The edition is of 125 and the prints are printed full-bleed, and are hand-signed and numbered with the Antigirl logo embossed in the top left corner. Visit Antigirl.com to order.

Brooklyn poster, 18" x 24", $25. Manhattan poster, 16" x 36", coming soon! Posters printed with soy ink on recycled paper.

Loved these gorgeous typographic posters from Ork. Designed by Jenny Beorkrem, they are affordable, large and simple… they definitely make a statement. Cities currently available are Chicago and Brooklyn. The Manhattan poster is coming out soon as is one for Boston. (via AT: Chicago)

Selected work from Bleed Deeply

Tiphanie Brooke of Antigirl emailed me with the wonderful news that she has completed her latest collection of collage. This collection, titled Bleed Deeply, features ton of vibrant color. Like her work before, I remain totally in love.

Prints and limited-edition lithographs of her previous collections as well as her line of handmade books are available for sale on her site.

Miami's COR Building, Orlando Epcot's Spaceship Earth, Boston's Upper Crust Pizza, Frankfurt's Biberach Research Laboratory, New York's New Museum of Contemporary Arts and Lelystad's Theater Agora. $325 each, PubliqueLiving. Each print is a limited edition of 180 and comes framed.

Spied these limited-edition chromaprints from Publique Living in the summer issue of Blueprint and totally loved the graphic nature and the simple typography. The prints are a collaborative between Jean Orlebeke and Lian Ng.

From Publique Living: “Grafik180:CityArt is a series of artwork inspired by the distinctive architectural skin from buildings around the world. Whether it be a pattern or shape that distinguishes these buildings, it is the first layer of visual iconic recognition. The cities in which these buildings reside in are called out by their airport code instead of their names, creating another layer of graphic distinction, akin to the visual alignment between architectural skins and buildings. The codes also function as a beacon of destination, proclaiming the cities’ association with inspiring architecture.”

Such a great gift for architecture and design aficionados.

Drift, David Burdeny. Edition of 150. $380.

Strolling through ICFF last weekend, I have to confess that not much really impressed me. The display from Lumas, however, stopped me in my tracks. Just what I was looking for: affordable photography produced in limited editions.

Each signed and numbered photograph is a part of a limited edition and the photographers range from new talent on the scene, masters, classics and scientific photography. The gallery also offers some photos in open editions which are more affordable than the limited editions.

The photos can also be bought as is or framed and mounted. Firsthand, those options looked to be very well done. Also, the sizes of the prints offered provide a big impact… sizes range from approximately two feet square and larger.

The prints are absolutely stunning in person. I am loving this concept. Lumas has a brick and mortar gallery in Soho in New York that I’ll be sure to check out.

(I’ll be going over the rest of my ICFF picks later this week.)

Midday in the Pine, $40. Little Gathering, $30.

Got a sweet email from Alena Hennessy regarding her upcoming show this weekend in a tearoom boutique called Bouteaque, New York’s Lower East Side.

The show will be on display from May 5 to June 30, the reception is from 3-7pm on Saturday. Bouteaque is located at 226 East Third Street, between Avenue B and C.
