Craig Kauffman, maker of sublime ultra-minimal vacuum molded acrylic wall hangings and original member of the famed Ferus gallery gang in the mid-60’s (along with the likes of Eds Ruscha and Kienholz, Wallace Berman, Warhol, etc) has died. I’ve always loved his somewhat erotically-shaped and candy-like art-for-art’s-sake and what I’ve heard described as a “finish fetish”. Oh, so smooth and shiny !
