The article features a big pic of Peter Shire’s iconic sofa.
Peter is one of the original awesome guys of the LA art world. He has kept a studio in Echo Park for years, and he has a holiday open house where you can buy some of his smaller objects. His studio website seems down, but here’s his feed: https://www.instagram.com/petershire/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/petershire/?hl=en, and some pictures from his studio: http://www.yoshimakino.us/work/artist-visit-2/ http://www.yoshimakino.us/work/artist-visit-2/
