Phililips de Pury kicks off a themed auction series next week with Now: Art of the 21st Century.

As though that ringing endorsement wasn’t enough, Simon De Pury assures it will be a “ground-breaking and taste-making” auction, including a selection of piss paintings, skull art, dead insects and monogrammed luggage featured after the jump.

Judith Supine is profiled in the latest Reincarnation issue of Tokion magazine—a fitting theme since we thought it died.

A lot of street art blows, not so in in the case of Judith Supine. The “renowned street art-ist/psych collage provocateur” is having an exhibit at English Kills Gallery in Bushwick this month. The man known for his multicolored, model manipulated wheatpastings (watch the video here) has created an on site installation at the Brooklyn gallery that features “darkly lit maze of tunnels, chutes, and ladders intermingled with twenty foot wooden puppets.” The “Dirt Mansion” opens it’s doors April 12, 5PM-9PM and runs through June 8.
