Combining a sweet tooth and a few lessons in modern art history, New York-based photographer Sarah Anne Ward created desserts inspired by famous works of art.
From Pollock Rice Krispie Treats and Koons’ Twinkie dog to Mondrian Jell-O — Ward, in collaboration with food stylists Heather Meldrom and Michelle Gatton, created desserts worthy of any museum and anyone’s belly.
Want to impress your guests with a Mondrian Cake or some Jeff Koons White Hot Chocolate? Modern Art Desserts contains 27 recipes inspired by actual works from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and from desserts served at their rooftop cafe.

Art watching can make people hungry… Or so we’ve been told. Especially when the art strongly resembles an onion ring floating in tomato soup, or can easily be recreated as jam on toast. Over at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, they’re taking inspiration from actual paintings within their space to help design the menu at their rooftop café.
From Rothko’s abstractionist jam, to Rosana Castrillo Díaz Panna Cotta — visitors to the museum can take in some art, and then, um, take in some art.
