Art spill on aisle three: Pastoral landscape at CostCo.

This weekend I had the honor of hanging out at a CostCo in Orange County, which is serious Andreas Gursky-Land. Not only can you buy a palette of toilet paper and a crate of tequila, you can also pick up a coffin—and, more importantly, art! (They have every stage of your life covered.) These are no giclees, by the way, they’re real “hand-painted” paintings. And I have no doubt that they were produced somewhere in the vicinity of Da Fen. But who cares, when you can pick up a hand-painted painting (in “premium wood frame”) starting at $117.99. All I know is that one of these babies is gonna look sensational over my new couch.
