Now that most people (if not everyone) have received their purchases from the Levine Gallery I figured we should have a spot to display (or showoff) your Obey fine art pieces. With the amount of shows Shepard has done in the last few years and the busy schedule he has coming up for the rest of the year I figure there is a fair number of fine art pieces amongst the board members.

This past weekend I briefly visited a room that had three faithful reproductions of Duchamp's Fountain. Not only did I notice, I used one of them. It's so interesting because the work tells the truth.

great suggestion, we've definately been discussing options with regard to this.....
Did you put a glass or plexi over the image when you framed it, I am contemplating doing that with my wood piece.

backpackpunk - its actually an error in the pull on the canvas... which is why it ended up a printers proof (my guess) -kinda makes it cool... if you click on the my picture and blow it up a few times you can see it much better...

circa77 - I did the switch myself... ( which is why its perfect ) - just looks funky in the picture... I guess?
I put the frame around the piece also! -cheapie from Michaels, the pre-cut lengths that you knock together with a rubber mallet... - I used my forehead though... can you tell?
