Meisel's Mind Games

Not content to present his work in the conventional coffee-table format of the weighty monograph, Steven Meisel chose to inject a touch of the playful by creating a jigsaw of one of the multi-hued, graphic-strewn images from his December 2007 'Patterns' editorial for Vogue Italia. A touch sadistic, perhaps, considering just how mind-bogglingly complex the jarring juxtaposition of floral, ikat, chinoiserie and paisley fabrics against checkered and polka-dot accessories and hand-painted skin - particularly when sliced into a thousand fragments. For anyone wishing to strain their eyes, albeit in the (re)construction of a true objet d'art, the puzzle retails at $750 (approximately £510) and has a limited run of just a thousand.
