The Haas Brothers—twins Nikolai and Simon—continue their ongoing investigation of the slippery divide between art and design with The Strawberry Tree (2023), on view at Design Miami as a co-presentation between Marianne Boesky Gallery and R & Company. The life-size, cast-bronze tree—adorned with intricate, beaded foliage and glowing, blown-glass strawberries—was commissioned for the artists’ recent solo exhibition, Moonlight, curated by Brooke Hodge for the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, TX. “We like to skew things just a little bit, so you know that they’re not reality, even though they feel so palpably almost real,” Nikolai Haas said. “Like you look at this thing and you go, is that real? It’s obviously not. You can’t grow strawberries on a tree. That’s the point.”
