These four panels were painted with paint collected from a hazardous waste clean up event. Although I found it praiseworthy that the artist is using reclaimed paint, it amazes me that anyone would pay the asking price of $11,500. Sometimes I think that if you were to slap some paint on a canvas, put a huge price tag on it, and hang it in a museum, you would get people willing to pay the exorbitant fee and say that it is a masterpiece.
Greg Lynn Toy Furniture: Duck Table Plastic toy base, Panelite top, 2008
I really enjoyed this table. The only person that I can think of that would buy this would be a middle aged man who has too much money and wants to get his youth back. Although I think that it is great that the plastic is recycled from plastic toys, I don’t know anyone who would want to buy it to use it. I hope that the artist had fun making this, I know I had fun viewing it.
Once again, the information that I got from the employee when interviewing him was that repurposing was the next big thing.
