You've got a couple of days left before Christmas and maybe you want to buy some amazing art. Yes, art is highly subjective so this is tricky.... but regardless here's a little holiday gift guide for serious collectors.


I Have Hunger, by Kiki Smith at Elizabeth Leach Gallery
I just love this editioned print on a one of a kind antique mirror. Look, somebody has to buy this before I do. I'm buying a new car and a new laptop... yet this is relatively inexpensive (ohh the pain). Please buy this so I no longer feel tempted.


Ornithology by Carson Ellis at Motel
2005 was a big year for her, being the artist in residence for the Decemberists and that Weezer cover... but this is the best thing she's done to date.


Untitled by Hildur Bjarnadottir at Pulliam Deffenbaugh
This was the star of the 2001 Oregon Biennial and I can't believe it hasn't sold yet.


Plume by Ellen George at PDX Contemporay Art


Jeanerette by Robert Yoder at Froelick
I love the fact that Yoder's new work is more explosive and to boot he is one of the nicest artists you could ever meet.


Lake of Omission by Bruce Conkle, you can find some smaller works of his at Homestar and Le Happy too but the big ones are some of the best video game appropriation art as photography I've ever seen.


Star 10 and Star 9 by Francis Celentano at The Laura Russo Gallery
This Op Art pioneer makes incredible stuff and these pillars are simply amazing.
