Souvenirs For All Seasons

For members of the art pack who have left Art Basel Miami over the weekend only to realise all you brought back was a good tan on your return, fret not. You may not have invested in a canvas by KAWS or a tricked out hummer by my new favourite artist Jeremy Dean, but you can bag a Buren just in time for the holiday season. 
As I reported back in October, Daniel Buren has collaborated with luxury French fashion house Hermès to produce a body of work titled Photos-souvenirs au Carré that were inspired by his travel photographs from around the world, which have been printed onto the luxury house's sought after silk.

Hermès.com has just launched an insight into Buren's production process as well as information of a boxed set of the entire collection of three-hundred and sixty-five scarves that will include a catalogue published by Editions Xavier Barralwhich will no doubt be on the top of many a collector's wish list. Just remember, art is not just for Christmas, it's for all three-hundred and sixty-five days of the year...

The ultimate gift that keeps giving every day of the year...
