The
Swiss Institute of Contemporary Art New York recruited photographer
Lukas Wassmann to create the perfect gift for artsy cyclists and cycling artists: a limited-edition calendar of portraits of famous New York-based artists on their bikes (now available through the SI's
online store). For the low, low-ish price of $45 you can zip through the year in the company of bipedal transportation-loving artists like
Ryan McGinley,
Rita Ackermann,
Richard Phillips,
Terry Richardson,
Amy Granat and, of course, David Byrne and Cindy Sherman (pictured).
The Artists on Their Bicycles New York is a limited edition of 500 numbered copies, though, and once it's unveiled later this week at Art Basel Miami Beach (oh yeah, btw, this week is art fair week down in Miami) the calendars will probably sell out really fast, so get yours now. (Art21 Blog)
