gift for an artist?

I wanted to get my sister something artsy...that I know she doesn't have and that she would never buy herself...

these little cubes are $50 each!!! and are pretty small...(1 3/4 ' cubes)...


Vasa Cubes

Acrylic Sculpture
Watch these fascinating sculptures absorb and reflect light; the vivid play of subtle hues makes them appear continuously alive. They were created by a painter named Vasa, who developed techniques for working with cast, laminated acrylic forms based on simple Euclidean shapes.

Cubes measure 1 3/4' on each side.

Vasa Cubes
Vasa, 1995
These dazzling cubes have been fascinating Museum store and catalog patrons for years and remain a popular desk or coffee-table 'toy.' Created by an internationally known sculptor whose work in plastic explores the three-dimensional interactions of light and color, they shimmer like a rainbow when rotated. A thin layer of intensely colored transparent acrylic is laminated onto each side of a solid acrylic block to form each cube.

thats a good idea.. go to a pearl art store and ask them for reccommendations on supplies depending on what type of art she is into. OR how about paying for a class for her... ? a good instructional class?

Check out www.momastore.org. It's the gift shop to the Museum of Modern Art in NY. Lots of funky, interesting stuff. I have a 20% off discount code, good until Sunday, if you want it!
