Meisel In Pieces
When I was little, I was absolutely addicted to puzzles. Part of it had to do with being plopped in front of a 1,000 piece puzzle at my grandmother’s house to keep me busy, but I’m sure to some extent, my love of puzzles came from the early symptoms of what I now qualify as a slight case of OCD. Though my love of puzzles may have wanned over the years, receiving an email about a special edition Steven Meisel Jigsaw puzzle has reinvigorated my passion.
The Meisel photo on the 1,000 piece puzzle, that happens to be going for $750 at art+commerce, is of tatted up Meghan Collison and was initially taken for an issue of Italian Vogue of which Meisel shoots every cover. Not only is the photograph visually stimulating and absolutely gorgeous— what can be expected from a genius like him— and, each box is signed and numbered by Meisel.
For $750 dollars, I’m not sure I would toss this jigsaw puzzle to the kids and tell them to have at, but if you happen to be completely obsessed with Steven Meisel photography or like collecting art on unconventional mediums, this is right up your alley.
