Rudolf Stingel Plate Edition with Bernardaud - WHITE

Art Production Fund is pleased to present our first WOW plate edition designed by Rudolf Stingel. We are proud to partner in this new series with Bernardaud, the renowned crafter of fine Limoges porcelain tableware, interior design and jewelry collections. WOW (Works on Whatever): Rudolf Stingel plate edition is part of Art Production Fund’s WOW project; a unique collection of everyday items designed by artists. APF invites artists to experiment with the latest commercial materials and techniques to bring art off the walls and into homes as everyday objects. WOW introduces contemporary art to a larger community, with revenues from sales supporting our non-profit mission. WOW functions conceptually with APF’s program of expanding art audiences and helps fund additional major public art initiatives. For each plate purchased, APF will make a donation to Citymeals-on-Wheels to deliver one meal to a homebound elderly New Yorker. Rudolf Stingel was born in Merano, Italy in 1956. He currently works and resides in New York. His work has been exhibited in prominent exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Most recently, he had a mid-career retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Abroad, his work was included in the 1999 and 2003 Venice Biennales, as well as “Sequence 1” at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice. In 2008, he received second place for Best Monographic Museum Show Nationally by the U.S. Art Critics Association for the 2006-2007 season. Bernardaud --- a family owned-and-operated company founded 1863 in Limoges, France ---is recognized worldwide for its commitment to the French traditions of refinement and creativity in the crafting of porcelain tableware and interior design pieces.
