Really. Terrace Martin & Devi Dev should have thought twice before decorating their album The Sex EP with Karadashian breastage smothered in silver by artist Barbara Kruger for the infamous W Magazine spread. Recognizable nipples or not, just clear your damn album art. Point and case: Remember the photog who forged a model release for the vintage prepster on a Vampire Weekend album cover? His lawyers are quitting.

In context: The Sex EP x Kruger’s Kardashian

A dizzying display by Barbara Kruger is the latest addition to the Lever House Art Collection. Reminiscent of the illegal ads covering vacant storefronts around the city, every surface from floor to ceiling is covered with Kruger’s bold black and white vinyl slogans. The collage artist’s installation, commissioned by real estate mogul Aby Rosen, is on view in the lobby of 390 Park Avenue. |16 Miles of String|

This past Friday, “The New Yorkers,” an exhibition of several dozen five borough based-artists opened at V1 Gallery in Copenhagen. Curated by Todd James, also known as REAS, the show is self-admittedly difficult to categorize: “A common denominator for the city, the artists and the works is defiance against generalizations and predictability.” In this vain, James brings together everything from paintings to installations by artists such as FUTURA, KAWS, Barbara Kruger, Steve Powers, Aurel Schmidt, and Dash Snow.
