new obsessions
We met Christophe Vialle at Maison Objet in Paris this spring and fell madly for one another--and his indoor garden boxes, which he calls Haute Culture. Besides grass, there are soil packs with seeds of herbs and peas, too. We've got them in colors and clear plexi. I love the mini Haute Culture boxes, too, because they can be hung on the wall, even spelling out a letter or word.
These just in! Love the teak oars. That's probably what did it for me when Andy showed me this set designed by Sweden's Form Us With Love. Because Sagaform manufactured it, the price makes the entire set to good to resist.
what's in store?

Giants Among Us: Storm King Art Center
Storm King Wall by Andy Goldsworthy
While Richard Serra makes helluva convincing grounds for experiencing sculpture in confined spaces, the stupendously vast 500-acres of lush woodlands, grassy fields and rolling hills that serve as stage for the 100 or so mostly modern sculptures of the Storm King Art Center make for a satisfying argument that three-dimensional works need space to be.
We spent the better part of a vibrant Sunday taking in the collection--including Serra's "Schunnemunk Fork," four enormous plates of eroding steel jutting from mounds on a 10-acre corner of the grounds. We walked between Maya Lin's massive "waves" of grass-covered ridges, carefully man-made to resemble the grand scale of oceans waves; and sprawled under a couple of Mark di Suvero's monstrous structures, barely able to take in the feat of engineering and art under the blue sky. The 2,278-foot ribbon of stones, found around the property and stacked without mortar by the British artist Andy Goldsworthy, is poetry.
The literature on this place likes to tout that it's a museum without walls. Not a bad way for all art should to be considered.
