Images of the Week: A Particular Kind of Heaven
Jarrett Moran

Ed Ruscha is the patriarch of LA art. Erik Parker returns from a psychedelic summer vacation. Is the Chinese art market just an elaborate conduit for bribery? Matthew Barney and Björk collaborated on a feature-length love story set in Japan. JR has an eye in the sky (or rather, on Artlog’s former headquarters in Williamsburg).
