Victor Vasarely silkscreen serigraph, from a thrift shop. They had no idea what it was but the $35 price they said was because of the nice (teak) frame. Signed by Vasarely and printed by Editeur Denise Rene. 79/150. Awesome!

Linda spotted the Anglepoisian task floor lamp the other day on somedody's curb, out with the recyclables. It's in perfect condition, just a little dusty, and although it's tough to tell, huge- each of those arms is 42". It also has a gold metal cover for the base, but I removed that for the more Brutalist concrete look, a la Ivan Chermayeff, who sunk his task lamp into a cinderblock.
