Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, Frank Lloyd Wright. Icing, gingerbread, cotton candy, candy wrappers, licorice, sugar.
Artists Caitlin Levin and Henry Hargreaves have given some of the world’s most famous art museums a ‘sweet’ makeover.
Created for Dylan’s Candy Bar during Art Basel Miami, Levin and Hargreaves recreated museums like the Louvre, Guggenheim and Tate Modern with gingerbread, candy and other sweet treats.
Some of these delicious structures are so elaborate that they almost look like the actual buildings when photographed in black-and-white.
