The designs of such architects as Frank Lloyd Wright and I.M. Pei are unmistakable — most people would recognize the Louvre or Guggenheim Museum anywhere and in any medium. For better or worse, so is the Candyland-esque aesthetic of the gingerbread houses people see around the holidays. Artists Henry Hargreaves and Caitlin Levin decided to play with those ideas, recreating famous museums and galleries from around the world using only gingerbread and candy.
The pair showcased Gingerbread and Candy Art Galleries at Miami's Art Basel festival earlier this month. Each image of their sculpture is shot in black and white, "a deliberate antidote to the vivid colors and sweetness" associated with gingerbread houses.
