Amidst all the reputable masterpieces at Art Basel hid something more charmingly lighthearted. Food artist Caitlin Levin and photographer Henry Hargreaves teamed up with Dylan’s Candy Bar for a whimsical collection of architectural artworks rendered in candy. Taffy, licorice and gum-balls form a series of the world’s best-loved museums, including a pastry rendition of Wright’s Guggenheim and the sugar-glazed pyramids from I.M. Pei’s work at the Louvre. The gloomy photographic colors and angles balance out the structures’ candied nature for a sophisticated take on the gingerbread house.
