Lot 91A
Donated By: Donick Cary, Emmy-Award winning writer/producer (Letterman /Simpsons / Parks and Recreation /Silicon Valley)
Memorabilia. From a sold-out edition of 100, a two-color screenprint on cream-colored paper entitled "Oh, Foshay" by Aesthetic Apparatus depicting a tiny white silhouetted figure with a red heart falling from the uppermost stories of the Foshay Tower (labeled "FOSHAY"). The Foshay Tower is a tall Art Deco skyscraper (tallest building in Minneapolis until 1972) in Minneapolis, Minnesota designed by Magney & Tusler, Inc. and erected in 1906. The scene is set against light blue skies, numbered 46/100 on the lower left margin and labeled "Aesthetic Apparatus" on the lower right margin. Size: image measures 7" L x 4" W (17.8 cm x 10.2 cm); full sheet measures 7.25" L x 5" W (18.4 cm x 12.7 cm)
According to the collector's notes, "Aesthetic Apparatus took seed when Dan Ibarra & Michael Byzewski first met in 1998 as designers at Planet Propaganda (formerly Planet Design Company) in Madison, Wisconsin. Combining their mutual interest in printmaking and music, the two began to build a groundwork of limited edition hand-printed concert posters that would gain them enough recognition nationally and internationally to convince them in 2002 to uproot to the twin cities and turn their measly late-night beer-fueled hobby into a full-time graphic design studio. As a fully-functioning studio - able to handle a full spectrum of design projects along with the posters they love so much - Aesthetic Apparatus has created work for clients such as Blue Q, Stella Artois, Harper Collins, American Cancer Society and Criterion Collection as well as bands such as Cake, Frank Black, Spoon, The Hold Steady, The New Pornographers, Dinosaur Jr., Grizzly Bear and more. Their work has been featured in Print, Step Into Design, Communication Arts, Creative Review, HOW, Print, Rolling Stone, Swindle, Jane Magazine, Readymade Magazine along with handfuls of design book publications and the recent Chronicle Books rock art bible "The Art of Modern Rock."

Making music happen since 2009
Today, Musack's mission is to give kids and teens a voice through music by providing guitars, drums, and support for music teachers - wherever the need arises.
But back in 2009, Emmy-Award winning writer/producer Donick Cary (Letterman /Simpsons / Parks and Recreation /Silicon Valley) began Musack with a simple vision - raise money to fund musical programs for his hometown high school on Nantucket Island. After a rash of teen suicides on the island, Donick thought about how he and his friends got through their teen years. Music.
Musack continues to make music happen around the world with support from people like you. All lots offered for sale in todays fundraising auction have been donated by celebrities, non-celebrities, and local businesses. Help us help our kids - bid high, bid often!
