Just wanted to let you know that The Standard Hotel is excited to announce All For You, an exclusive edition of 50 glazed porcelain apples by Brooklyn based artist Julia Chiang whose work has been exhibited at Deitch Projects, The New Museum, etc.

Along with the launch of the edition, Julia has created a site-specific installation for the new store at The Standard NY, which is opening this Friday, Feb 12. Using the title of the edition, All For You is spelled out with Ring Pop candy along the wall of the shop. The candy is left to melt over time, constantly transforming, slowly disappearing, while leaving a trace and history of the presence of every single drip.

All For You

• Chiang chose the apple because it is a symbol of desire and an icon of the city of New York.
• Each unique apple is handmade in porcelain and glazed a glossy red (3” high x 3 1/2” diameter)
• Each piece includes a wooden box that has been burned with the details of the edition and is signed and numbered (5” long x 6” wide x 5 1/4” high)
• Available now for $200 at http://www.shopthestandard.com and at The Standard Shop NY starting Friday.
