Yes, yet another artist collaboration. I’ve done them myself and I’m getting a bit bored of the idea – but this one is affordable and looks cool. The Gap (yes, THAT Gap) and Visionaire magazine are reuniting again, after last December’s Art Basel Miami Beach, for Frieze Art Fair which opens on Randall’s Island this week. The collection includes Richard Phillips, Yoko Ono, Marc Quinn and more — and will be available May 9 at a few Gap locations and on Randall’s Island, as well. Which is your fave? The gold Yoko is very nice but I think the Marc Quinn would look equally good at the pool or peeking out from a blazer. And to be honest the paint by number Alex Katz is slightly derivative of SOMEONE but the guy is 86, so I’ll cut him some slack and assume the idea was probably suggested by an assistant.
