If you didn’t get enough skulls last night, here’s an interesting art show via Simplistic Art.
Lustmord Table
Jenny Holzer, 1994
And some Embroidered skeletons by Angelo Filomeno, via Ullabenulla:
The Grand Circus: Death of Presumptuous Philosopher
Embroidery on silk shantung
Angelo Filomeno, 2005
And the granddaddy of skeleton art is of course Sedlec Ossuary, Czechoslovakia.
A few pictures from The Flying Kiwi via Ullabenulla:
And a beautiful, intimate photostream of Sedlec from Curious Expeditions:
