Brooklyn based artist Aaron Johnson has release a new piece of art for sale on NOWhere Limited. Entitled “Now We Hunt Hippopotamus” he describes it as such:

Now We Hunt Hippopotamus is a convergence of disparate influences, specifically including The Hippopotamus Hunt by Rubens (one of my favorite paintings by one of my favorite painters), Indian firecracker graphics (which I discovered traveling in India in 2005, a trip that completely exploded my color palette), and the David Lynch film Wild at Heart (the title of this piece comes from torrid moment when Isabella Rossellini stares down the barrel of her pistol pointed at the camera shouting ‘Now We Hunt Buffalo!’) I liked the idea of telling a humanity versus nature story in which the human element is represented by miniature severed heads, clearly overwhelmed by the behemoth brute force of the animals raging around the composition

See the others on sale, along with the piece above, after the jump.

I going to have to agree with a post over at Animal:

While the NYPD was roughing up art-handlers and pro-union protestors outside, Christie’s sold the world’s most expensive photograph. Ta da: Rhein II (1999) by Andreas Gursky, one of an edition of six, $4,338,500. Not his best work. A boring, pricey autograph, if you will.

Wow. It’s amazing what an autograph can do.

Thanks to The Selby, we get a little glimpse of Pharrell Williams’ art collection tonday. Some contemporary pop art big wigs are represented, including KAWS and Takashi Murakami. Williams lives in Miami.
