From Design Milk:
Masterpiece is a sculpture made of painted acrylic that resembles a cloth-covered painting, which has yet to be revealed. The artist, who goes by “Whatshisname,” is saying that regardless of artworks that have already been created, with every new generation of artists, there are new masterpieces yet to be discovered.

Gorgeous photography by Jan Saudek.
From Trendland:
In 1977 he started hand tinting black and white prints, many portraits of painterly dream worlds inhabited by nudes/semi nude figures, and his signature style began to evolve; reminiscent of nineteenth century artists such as Balthud and Faucon. Saudeck has been Honored as a’Chevalier des Arts et Lettres’. The French director, Jerome de Missolz, also made a short film about him: “Jan Saudek – Photograph tchéque”. Some of the works of Jan Saudek have entered popular culture in the West, being used as covers for groups: Anorexia Nervosa (New Obscurantis Order), Soul Asylum (Grave Dancers Union), Daniel Lanois (For the Beauty of Wynona), and Beautiful South (Welcome to the Beautiful South).

This is all ceramic.
From BoingBoing:
Inspired by the bountiful Vanitas still-life paintings of 16th-century Northern Europe and the excessive ornamentation of the Baroque period, Dirk Staschke seduces the viewer with his voluptuous organic forms while exploring themes of excess and its effects.A master ceramicist whose work has been shown internationally, Staschke is best know for his banquet style displays of flora, fauna and food. In Falling Feels a Lot Like Flying, an exhibition specifically created for Bellevue Arts Museum, the artist takes his work to a new scale. Comprised of more than ten large pieces, the exhibition captures the beauty and opulence of a moment in time — creamy and syrupy stacks of sweets — yet, decay and collapse is looming right around the corner.Dirk Staschke’s first solo exhibition March 1 - May 27, 2012, Bellevue Arts Museum in WA
