Friday Faves: It’s Like High School Without the Bad Hair

‘Tis a new year and with that comes all sorts of lists documenting the good, the bad and the ugly from the past 12 months.  While there’s certainly no bad or ugly here at Artsy Forager, I thought it would be a kick to award our featured art some high schoolish superlatives.  Put your mittens on your kittens and away we go!

    I love the idea of using simple, shallow labels to describe such influential pieces of art!
