  • This flan pâtissier looks like a Craig Kauffman wall piece. It also looks delicious. [Contemporary Confections]

  • "My [sic] mistake." [Murketing via Ms. Jen Bekman]

  • Karen Rosenberg on Lee Bontecou: "Those works resonate for much the same reasons Mad Men does. As Donald Judd once wrote, Ms. Bontecou 'linked something as social as war to something as private as sex, making one an aspect of the other.' [NYT]
