Wood Pins by Miss Van

Last month, Miss Van had a solo show, Still a Little Magic, at FIFTY24SF Gallery in San Francisco, that featured her poupees under the big top tents of the circus world.  She’s taken some of her characters from the show and created a wooden pin set.   The pins feature artwork by Miss Van printed onto wood and is a collaborative work of artistic jewelry exclusively hand crafted and produced by Princesas Market and the Limbo Family. Each of the two models is produced in a limited edition of 40 pieces, is signed and comes in a handmade and engraved leather purse with a numbered certificate of authenticity.  If you weren’t able to see the show (which was amazing) you can adorn yourself with a little piece of Miss Van love.  You can buy the pins here.  Read the full story to see the rest of the pictures.

“Brujerias” is “witchcraft” in Spanish, and that is the starting point for Miss Van’s most recent pieces that she showed in Berlin.  Her fine art pieces may be out of reach for some of us, but luckily, we can buy into the bewitching beauty of Miss Van’s art by purchasing prints or postcards that are now available on her fine art webstore, Princesas Market.  The postcard set includes 5 different postcards from the “Brujerias” series and is limited to a production of 500 sets.  Miss Van also produced giclee prints entitled: Brujerias 1, 2 and 3.  The prints are numbered and signed and limited to sets of 75 each.  I want everything that Miss Van makes, but as I’m not made out of money, at least I can have a little piece by collecting all the postcard sets . . . there are more online.  Pictures of the prints after the jump . . . .

One of my favorite artists is Miss Van. The girls she paints are so iconic that she’s been copied many, many times. The themes and settings that her ladies are painted in change with each series, but her girls always have the haunted, mysterious expressions that captivate me. Lucky for us, now we can all get a little piece of the Miss Van world. I’m excited to announce that Miss Van has recently opened her own online shop, Princesas Market, where you can purchase postcards, prints, books and jewelry. The postcards and prints feature works from previous exhibitions Princesas, Bestial and Atame. The book is her first catalogue printed for one of her latest exhibitions, Atame, and is limited to 1000 numbered copies. The most exciting items I saw on the site were jewelry pieces that made by Katrin Bauer. The ladies chose “la biche” character as the main subject for the project and all of the pieces are sterling silver. I’m so happy that there’s finally a place online to get Miss Van stuff and it’s so hard to choose, I want it all!
