Five more of Michael Leon’s solid gypsum skull sculptures have landed. These ones are rubber coated and are available exclusively through Iconoclast Editions.

Michael Leon’s “skull wearing sunglasses” graphic was recently converted into a 3D sculpture with help from the likes of Bob Kronbauer and Mike from Furni. Each skull is hand-engraved, numbered and signed and evokes a sense of ‘memento mori’. Only 100 pieces will be produced over numerous colors and applications. Seven new colors – numbered 11 through 17 (yep, that’s right, there’s only one per color) – have just been released at Michael Leon Studio and run for $250 USD per skull.

Kanye West also attended the opening of the exhibition.
