Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are some gift ideas for your dad who likes experimental/avant-garde:

1. Museum membership: Consider gifting your dad a membership to a museum that features contemporary art exhibitions. This will give him the opportunity to see cutting-edge and experimental works.

2. Music subscription: If your dad enjoys listening to avant-garde music, you can consider gifting him a subscription to services like Spotify or Tidal that offer an extensive collection of experimental music.

3. Non-fiction books: Surprise him with books that introduce him to avant-garde art and theories of experimentation. He will love books such as "Theories and Documents of Contemporary Art" by Kristine Stiles, "The Shock of the New" by Robert Hughes, and "The Rest is Noise" by Alex Ross.

4. Art supplies: Get your dad unique art supplies to experiment with such as oil paints, abstract brushes, and canvas in different shapes and sizes.

5. Experimental kitchen equipment: If your father is into cooking, surprise him with a Molecular Gastronomy kit that will allow him to experiment with food in a more avant-garde way.

These are just a few ideas that can help you pick the perfect gift for your dad based on his tastes.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
