Artware Editions / Tomlinson Kong Contemporary

Artware Editions offers utilitarian art for both the serious collector and those who simply appreciate beautiful, everyday items. The owners, Jon Tomlinson and Rebecca Epstein Kong, have developed a concept of collaborating with fine artists to create innovative, enjoyable works of art.

Each collection is based on the homegrown concept of challenging accomplished fine artists to consider function and utility when creating a piece. Collaborating with trained artists of their choice, Jon and Rebecca have curated a gallery that pushes the relationship between object and art to a new level.

Artware Editions embraces the notion that art is everywhere. We fell in love with the 3-D printed wallpapers, custom-made to fit your space and printed on order. Imagine papering your wall with a 15th story view of Central Park West or the Empire State Building on a clear night. A complete list of wallpapers and corresponding stories are available through their website.

Cast your eyes on hand-made limited editions ranging from playing cards to chandeliers to whimsical illustrations on plates, blankets, towels and birdhouses. They have a complete line of chairs by Donald Judd and offer Limoges dishware designed by photographer Cindy Sherman.

It’s no surprise to find Artware Editions top clients are collectors and architects looking for something new and unusual. In this small Manhattan market, the artist comes first and every piece has a story– true modern art with a twist.
