If you are looking for a truly unique Santa to decorate your house with or to give to your niece, consider heading to Maccarone Gallery on Greenwich Street. No, no, no… I’m not suggesting you purchase new art for the sake of Christmas. But, then again, Peter Paul Chocolates are artwork. Until Christmas Eve, the gallery has become a fully functioning chocolate factory under the vision of artist Paul McCarthy.
The ten-inch, one pound Santa molds feature the Father Christmas holding a tree and bell and go for $100. It may seem steep, but considering that the edible art was on display at Art Basel Miami over the weekend, this could be the art deal of the century.
Plus, for the epicurean art patrons, this Saint Nick is made with pure Guittard semi-sweet dark chocolate. Production is overseen by author and chocolatier Paul Greweling to be sure that the creative process doesn’t hinder the taste of the piece.
