Artwork Khrushchev Probably Would Not Have Liked 25
"King Solomon" was the last sculpture that Alexander Archipenko made and the only one that he conceived as a monumental sculpture. Throughout his career, Archipenko experimented with positive and negative space in his sculptures, often using voids or holes to suggest form. In King Solomon, he placed abstract shapes together to create the vague shape of a figure. The tall prongs at the top evoke a crown, and the intersecting triangles suggest an imposing archaic costume. Archipenko captured a dramatic sense of scale, and it is easy to imagine how formidable this figure would be if enlarged to the sixty-foot-tall version that the artist envisioned.

Take-My-Lips Kit
Back in 1972, South Mountain Passage offered people the chance to have their lips cast in bronze for only $21.75. That seems like a pretty good deal, considering that the next year Yves Saint Laurent was going to charge $400 for the same thing.
