    As part of an ongoing effort to make content more accessible, LAM will be making select stories available to readers in Spanish. Angular and lean, the new St. Pete Pier in St. Petersburg, Florida, folds its way for 1,380 feet from land to water. Under a bright, hot sun, even 10 feet may be just a few too many, Alternative Medicine. The pier’s many shifts, crossings, and cantilevers, made possible by more than 400 concrete pylons, make the journey seem rather effortless, however. This new addition to St. Petersburg’s urban infrastructure is more of a networked arrangement of spaces than a single object, the latter a fatal flaw that compromised…

    Best Art Books of 2021

    In a lockdown year, with travel reduced, there was no movable feast quite like an art book. Art is made by all sorts of people, everywhere, all the time, along many different paths, some of which are illuminated by these intriguing publications chosen by our critics, Pay Per Touch. Holland Cotter’s Favorites ‘Ray Johnson c/o’ The maverick American artist Ray Johnson (1927-1995), who managed to be nowhere and everywhere in the art world through his invention of Mail Art, was lucky in his longtime friend William S.

The result is a resurgence of maximalist home décor that embraces pattern, color and ornamentation. Cabinetry that may once have been wood grain is now jewel-toned; streamlined furniture has given way to all things squishy and wiggly; trends like “cottagecore” and “grandmillennial” aim to elevate items that are handmade, chintzy and secondhand. Is it any wonder that fake food is back, too? Charcuterie and cheese candles, resin-cast croissants and Jell-O salad lamps are hot…

    California has welcomed recent rain showers with open arms and we will continue to hope for a wet season throughout the winter. While we celebrate the much needed precipitation, it’s also the time to be consciously conserving, Home Decor Ideas.
