"What Modern Is: The Collection of Mark McDonald"

In a few days, on March 11, Sotheby's New York will auction the Mark McDonald Collection. Mark McDonald was and continues to be one of the foremost dealers in modern design. His collection about to be auctioned reads as a catalogue of modern design.

One of the objects that we liked, is this one here by Isamu Noguchi ("Radio Nurse", Zenith Radio Company, Chicago, 1937), which looks like a cross between a robot and a samurai mask. Information on this baby monitor (!) can be found here (via Victoria & Albert Museum)

This advertisement comes from Volkswagen and, if we understood it correctly, was broadcasted only in the US, back in 2007. The campaign was named "Night Driving". The music/narration is
