Lawrimore Project is offering a range of art objects as holiday gifts, priced under $1,000. It’s the gallery’s idea of a joke. Every gallery in Seattle has something under four figures. But the joke doesn’t end there. One of Lawrimore’s featured objects is Eli Hansen’s To Your Health Untitled (tincture), 2009, a small, clear glass bottle that serves as a portrait of Tacoma.
Containing chips of Western red cedar, soil from Port Madison and brick fragments from Ted Bundy’s childhood home, it’s a $600 portrait of small town noir. Who wouldn’t want a little Ted Bundy for the holidays?
Zoe Strauss had a similar take on Tacoma when she was in town.
The recession has been a long dry run. Note to those who are flush: Time to support a gallery or two.
this is amazing!
