Food For Thought—and Fund-Raising
Posted by jessica

cupcakes.jpgTwo Los Angeles artists devised a creative and simple plan for helping out the financially struggling L.A. Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA): They held a bake sale yesterday in front of the museum. But this wasn’t your typical fund-raiser; the artists added their own flair to the sweets by making them art-themed. The edibles were based on works from the museum's permanent collection—think Giacometti-style baguettes.

Most of the goodies were $1, except for the financier cookies, which had a price tag of $1 million each. According to the Los Angeles Times, sales totaled $320, so it doesn’t appear that any of them were sold. See the LAT coverage for some delectable photos.
