Modern Art Key Ring

$12.00

Boasting the statement “Modern Art = I Could Do That + Yeah, But You Didn’t,” this fabric key ring by Third Drawer Down Studio and Craig Damrauer are part of the New Math Collection. New Orleans-based Damrauer’s New Math project lasted from 2008 to 2014 and explored tangible and intangible concepts, from rumors to truth and teen angst (one example: Uncle = Dad + Fun). The bold equation on modern art remains one of the truest—and funniest.

Print is Dead. Long Live Print.

$35.00

Compiled by The Guardian journalist Ruth Jamieson, “Print is Dead. Long Live Print” is a hardcover tome that looks at independent publications—and explores the reason they are thriving in a time when traditional magazines are struggling. Jamieson profiles the pubs that she thinks are the best in the world—with themes reaching from sports to current affairs and the arts—through imagery, words and quotes from editors and founders. A fascinating look at the current state of publishing, but also an introduction to new titles like the bilingual English-Japanese “Cat People.”
