The photo series captures the illusory effect of multiple mirrored installations adorned with various items such as flowers, rope, and smoke.

Floor-lamp 1958 by the bega brand that can be used both indoors and outdoors. These kind of lamp was popular to use at patio's, mini golf courses and other public places. The lamp is in beautiful vintage condition and the glass shade is still fully intact. Even the porcelain fitting with label is still the original. This type of bega lamps from the 1950s have now become quite rare. It shows similarities with the bega garden lamps that could be admired at the world exhibition 'expo 58', the largest event ever organized in brussels. Bega was founded in 1945 at the end of world war ii. As a small company with barely 5 employees, it quickly took off and won the "medaille d'or" at the international trade fair in luxembourg in 1952. In 1958, bega teamed up with some other companies to build the new multi-storey luminaire block at the largest industrial fair in the world. Eventually this would lead to the "world light show". Bega still exists and, as an umbrella group, has, among other things, the famous 'glashütte limburg' in its portfolio. It has already received a total of 275 if design awards. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history.

BEYOND is a permanent artwork by Daan Roosegaarde made of 3D clouds and interactive light at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport
Size: 9.1 X 13.5 inches. Signed in pencil and annotated with title and "Ed. 160 Artist Proof", printed on heavy, felt-finish, bright white wove paper, 14 X 18 inch sheet. Fine condition. Free shipping to US address. (nt sff-f-rt) Note: Lawrence Beall Smith (1909-1995) was an accomplished and well-rounded American artist. During World War II, he designed posters supporting war efforts, including advertisements for War Bonds. Smith also served the military during the liberation, landing with Allied troops in Normandy on D-Day to document the events. The wide circulation of his war bonds posters and many lithographs he created for the Associated American Artists made his graphic works well-known to the American public. Although much of his early work was created during dark and uncertain times, his style is surprisingly playful and light, often featuring children and people going about their everyday lives in the streets and parks of America. Committed to the propagation of art, Smith and his wife Winn were one of the five founding couples of the Katonah Gallery (today the Katonah Museum of Art), in Westchester County, New York. He exhibited there for many years, as well as at the National Academy of Design in New York City, Whitney Museum of American Art and in other major exhibitions. (source: Armstrong Fine Art)

"John Buxton was born in the small southern town of Oxford, North Carolina. He excelled at art from childhood. After two years of general college in his home state, he earned his art degree from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, California. He was a successful illustrator for 31 years, working in Detroit, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. During this time, he illustrated two books for the National Geographic Society and developed a fascination with documentation and truth in art. In 1994 he left illustration and began painting subjects more personal to his interests. Buxton soon began exhibiting his painting, placing two works in the Birds in Art show at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. Northlight Books later reproduced these two paintings in The Best of Wildlife Art 2 by Rachel Rubin World. He entered, and placed in the Top 100 in the Arts For The Parks competition. The Society of Animal Artists elected him to membership and invited him to show in their national exhibitions. He exhibited with the American Academy of Equine Artists before settling into his true niche: Historical Art. Buxton s historical images of the 18th century often depict scenes from the birth of our nation, allowing the viewer to witness momentous events or experiences from everyday life of the frontier. Many historical sites display Buxton s extensively researched works and several documentary films have been aired that featured his paintings. Buxton s paintings are available as a CD Teaching Aid for educators wishing to give students a more intimate view of America s historical heritage, effectively making history come alive. His original paintings and commissioned works are in great demand. Buxton exhibits his original art at Settlers West Galleries in Arizona, Gallery One of Ohio and Lord Nelson s Gallery in Gettysburg. Buxton has shown his artwork at the Gilcrease Museum and his largest painting; a life-size standing portrait of Abraham Lincoln hangs in a place of honor at the National Civil War Museum.
"Electrical Building, World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, IL," by Charles S. Graham (1892) DIMENSIONS • 9" x 12" (Image: 6.5" x 10.5") • 12" x 16" (Image: 8.75" x 14") • 16" x 20" (Image: 10.5" x 17") • 20" x 30" (Image: 16" x 25.75") • 24" x 36" (Image: 19" x 30.5") Archival Inkjet on Fine Art Paper Smooth Surface - Matte Finish - Inset Borders ABOUT THE ARTWORK For its 1893 World’s Fair, Chicago constructed a Beaux-Arts “White City” with shimmering basins and waterways that visitors could travel by gondola or electric launch. It was illuminated by 100,000 incandescent lamps powered by alternating current — a coup for Nikola Tesla and Westinghouse in their “War of the Currents” against Edison General Electric. The Electricity Building housed displays of Edison’s kinetoscope, electric incubators for chicken eggs, a Morse code telegraph, and other innovations. Tesla himself demonstrated his wireless lighting system in darkened room at the Westinghouse exhibit. Commemorating the 400th anniversary of Columbus’s arrival in the New World, the Exposition attracted 751,026 visitors, setting a new world record for attendance at an outdoor event. ART-CENTRIC DESIGN ----------------------------- Vintage art is not standardized. The original works are usually too long, or too short, to neatly fill a store-bought frame. Most shops arbitrarily crop the artwork to match, leading to claustrophobic prints with missing or partial elements. These modifications — sometimes trivial, sometimes ludicrous — are not always shown in the product photos. We believe that the purpose of art is not to fill a frame; it is the purpose of a frame to showcase the art. Our prints have inset borders that make up any differences in proportion between the artwork and a standard frame, so that you can experience the art as the artist intended. They look sharp in beveled mats, may be float mounted, or inserted directly into standard frames; the borders providing a mat-like accent around the image. There are many styles from which to choose. Framing is a fun, creative process that enhances the artwork and livens your space for years to come. Should you like any advice, feel free to reach out. CUSTOMIZATION AND IMAGE REQUESTS ----------------------------- We are happy to customize our prints to fit your frame. Borderless prints may require the artwork to be cropped to fit a new aspect ratio. In such cases, we will provide a mockup to ensure that the final product meets with your approval. If you’re looking for an artwork that is not in our catalog, feel free to ask if we can provide it. We will print any public domain or openly licensed image that is available in high resolution. MUSEUM QUALITY ----------------------------- Giclée process prints are the gold standard in fine art reproduction. We use a matte finish, cotton fiber paper to maximize detail while eliminating glare. Our prints display a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Produced using only archival materials, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them. HANDMADE DECLARATION ----------------------------- To assure artistic quality, all of our production and design is strictly in-house. Every print has been proofed, calibrated and inspected for defects. We do not drop ship, resell or make use of third-party production partners. SHIPPING AND PACKAGING ----------------------------- All orders ship within one business day via USPS First Class, Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. Sizes 9” x 12” and 12” x 16” ship in a flat configuration, unless combined with larger prints, which require tubes. We will replace any lost or damaged items at no expense to you. HAPPINESS GUARANTEE ----------------------------- We will promptly address any issues that may arise with your order. If you are unhappy with your print for any reason, you are welcome to return it for a full refund.

About This Deal History tends to repeat itself, which means there’s a good chance you’ll get run over by another war elephant. Admire what history has taught us thus far with today’s Groupon to Old Sturbridge Village. Children under 3 get free admission to Old Sturbridge Village, and tickets for youth ages 3–17 are $7 each. Visitors who return to Old Sturbridge Village within 10 days can re-enter for free. Choose between the following options: For $10, you get an adult general-admission ticket, plus two ride tickets (up to a $26 value). For $19, you get two adult general-admission tickets, plus four ride tickets (up to a $52 value). There are no purchase limits for either option. The largest outdoor history museum in the Northeast, Old Sturbridge Village portrays the daily life of a rural New England town from 1790 to 1840, with an on-site working farm and 40 original buildings allowing visitors to get an authentic look at post-colonial America. Throughout the 200-acre museum, costumed history interpreters perform the work of a 19th century New England community: plowing fields, baking bread in a fireplace oven, and fashioning iron horse socks in the smithy. Visitors can browse antiques, tour heirloom gardens, and engage their eyes with a variety of exhibitions and events. For instance, during Textile Weekend (August 13–14), a spate of specialized activities explores women's roles as textile producers, the effect of mass textile manufacturing, and the most effective ways to build forts with blankets. Check the Old Sturbridge Village website (designed to look like a 19th-century web page) for its full calendar. Hungry historians will find that Old Sturbridge Village has several restaurants, such as the early New England cuisine at the Oliver Wight Tavern, while picnic tables are also set up for those who prefer to nibble on homemade sandwiches. Museum patrons can jostle along on a stagecoach ride or occupy idle fingers with hands-on craft lessons for an additional fee (see website for full schedule). Admission also includes free parking for visitors and free sun-tanning for automobiles. Groupon customers will receive a ride voucher good through August 31, 2012 if the stagecoach or riverboat ride is not running on the day the Groupon is redeemed. Old Sturbridge Village normally offers active military personnel with I.D. a 50% discount and guests in their party a 25% discount. Guests of second-day visitors normally receive a 25% discount.
