Holy Cow

Figures of Speech

Marsha Tosk is an NYC artist. Tough way to make a living, mind you, but someone has to provide the merchandise for gallery openings. The hand crafted Malbec and free range chicken with localy grown freekeh don't pay for themselves. To this end Artist Tosk has produced a sales kit with all the goodies.

  • A nebulous Artist's statement including such things as pregnable, health of the environment, Leda, and allegorical.
  • A genuine coffee table sized tchotchke with enough cute and cuddly to exclude anyone not in the biz. ( I didn't borrow the idea, I merely was exploring the terrain suggested by earlier, nameless illustrators )
  • An advertisment in the NY Times Sunday magazine with the price. One darn quick way to let all your friends on the Upper West know how much disposable cash you can spend on your bleeding edge tastes.

Let's hope this project puts some food on Ms. Tosk's table.( you don't get an artist's discount at the grocery) She has some very well wrought pieces in the other part of her site, well worth looking at. $850 is a bit steep for borrowed clever, but so isn't an ad in the Times.
