Came across these James Villona chairs and ottoman in a gallery in Santa Fe this afternoon- the attendant didn’t know anything about Gehry’s cardboard Wiggle series, but they seemed more than a little familiar:

Seems that they’re approved by the man himself, but weren’t credited at the gallery (http://www.veilleuxfineart.com/). For $14k a pop (series of 25), a one could get originals or a dozen reissues of the more comfortable cardboard version. I’m not an art critic, but is seems that some credit was certainly due here… What do you guys/gals think?
