How a detail from David’s original ‘Nipples’ piece may have looked
Feel that pretty thing…
Those of you with a good memory may recall a piece David donated to the New York Academy of Art’s Ninth Annual ‘Take Home A Nude’ auction in New York, back in June 1999. (5/20/99 SNEAKER: ITS BLACK)The piece was simply a Braille message on a black canvas that spelt out the word ‘nipples’.
You can now view a new version of the artwork as part of a group show at the Rupert Goldsworthy Gallery in New York from November 7th. This version has been produced in a different colour, which I won’t disclose here lest I spoil the surprise for those that decide to visit the exhibition.
Apart from David’s ‘nipples’, the show will feature new work by Steven Evans, Rupert Goldsworthy, Jane Kaplowitz, Mr. Lam, Mr. Leonard and Stephen Tashjian.
The exhibition runs until December 15th, at the Rupert Goldsworthy Gallery, 453 West 17th St 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10011. (Corner of Tenth Avenue)
