I loved this image, titled “Dancing with the Stars<\/a>” — a 500-piece puzzle by Clementoni<\/a>. Sadly they didn’t list a credit, but google image search turned up very similar images, by the recently passed artist Alfredo Arregu\u00edn<\/a> (1935-2023). I am always mesmerized by Arregu\u00edn’s work — the jaguar puzzle by Artifact<\/a> is one of my favorites — but I was puzzled (!) that Arregu\u00edn wasn’t credited for this work, and that it is actually a little different in the puzzle images I found. I have written to Clementoni, and hope to hear back that it was licensed and modified by Arregu\u00edn, or with his authorization — and not that it is an AI-generated ripoff, which I fear. )-8 Since I found several similar works, I’m hopeful the puzzle image is part of an original series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE 1\/24: confirmed by email from Clementoni that it was licensed from Arregu\u00edn! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
