The pieces are all going to be available for viewing at several upcoming exhibits, and I’ll have all the info below. But first, Doyle himself was nice enough to give me a call and let me know that all of his pieces are available for purchase, either at the galleries on display, or by contacting him personally. Prices range from $5000 for the larger pieces, to $850/$900 for the smaller pieces.<br /><br />A few more pics, and then info on where you can check ‘em out for yourself.</p><p><a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/modernmaterialist/2008/05/if_1.jpg"><img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/modernmaterialist/2008/05/if_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/modernmaterialist/2008/05/lit_3.jpg"><img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/modernmaterialist/2008/05/lit_3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />My Little / Membrane | NURTUREart | 910 Grand St., Brooklyn, New York
