The gallery can be reached at www.caplakesting.com or by phone at 917-650-3760. <\/p>\n<p> Photos available to media on request.<\/p>\n<p>News issued by: Capla Kesting Fine Art<\/p>\n<p> # # # <\/p>\n<p><small>Original Story ID:  (1951) :: 2006-08-0829-002<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Keywords: Capla Kesting Fine Art, first poop, bronzed poop, gallery, art, ebay auction, Daniel Edwards, Dan, sculpture, sculptor Capla Kesting Fine Art   <\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK, N.Y. &#8211; Aug. 29 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Today, the Capla Kesting Fine Art gallery in New York announced the latest work by noted sculptor Daniel Edwards, famous for his celebrity-inspired themes, which depicts an interpretive &#8216;bronze casting of Suri Cruise&#8217;s first poop.&#8217; The natural and inoffensive sculpture in bronze will be on display at the gallery in September and auctioned on eBay for the March of Dimes charity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4920,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,280,8,587,19],"tags":[1220],"class_list":["post-6409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertainment-news","category-arts-culture-news","category-new-york-news","category-offbeat-news","category-us-news","tag-daniel-edwards","has-post-title","has-post-date","no-post-category","no-post-tag","no-post-comment","has-post-author"],"acf":[],"views":4650,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4920"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6409\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
