[TheForge] self portraits

[RIES NIEMI]

I put my self portrait, as well as a portrait of Albert Einstein, in the
photoaccess folder "anything else".
I repeat, these are fabricated, not forged items, I only posted them to show
self portraits in metal.
The chair seats are wrapped hot around the frames, though, and on some of
the other chairs in the series there would sometimes be forged tips, or
feet, or the like. 
There are about 25 different people in the portrait series, in signed
numbered editions of 24. I have sold about 1/2 of the total- maybe 250
chairs or so. I make them as they are ordered.
I also have done a few commissions for individuals, where I made one chair
of someone from photos, as a gift. Did one for Dick Wolf, who does those Law
and Order shows on tv.
