Conde Nast publishing conglomerate has started up a business selling their vintage magazine covers as fine art. The reproduction prints are all priced at $350 framed, $250 matted, which seems a bit steep until you consider that the target market for their House & Garden, Gourmet, and Vanity Fair ads is probably accustomed to paying much more for prints. But are these the same people who will buy cover reproductions or will it be more of the middle class masses who buy the magazines and dream of a color coordinated, fashionable, and well-seasoned life? Gazing through these paintings makes me wish for the return of abstract artwork to replace the celebrity-ridden rows in todays newstands. (via Pop Culture Junk Mail)
