View story Trompe L'oeil Book Covers 2 / 0 http://http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/20/arts/design/20wolfe... Submitted by RachelShannon 1 month, 5 days, 13 hours ago At the Whitney Museum of American Art, artist Steve Wolfe has a exhibit of painting and drawings that are all copies of covers of books or old vinyl records. They are trompe l'oeil pieces, and, according to the author of this article, Ken Johnson, they are very realistic looking. As he says, "With creases, cracks, abrasions, tears and stains reproduced..., the paintings are curiously confounding."
