Viewpoints / Openings: Richard Hambleton pop-up show @ The Dairy, London

Posted by Patrick Nguyen, December 6, 2010

Three weeks ago, AM attended the London preview for the pop-up exhibition Richard Hambleton New York. Upon entering the venue, it wasn’t immediately clear whether we’d arrived at an art show or a fashion show.

What’s certain is that the event was glamourous, and it’s been a long time since [...]

Hirst x Louis Vuitton

Posted by sleepboy, December 27, 2009

After some angst about getting recognition for his hand-painted art (here & here) as opposed to his “factory” produced pieces, Damien Hirst returns briefly to more commercial endeavors. No stranger to artist collaborations, Louis Vuitton joined up with Hirst to produce what looks to be a new line of luggage with his signature butterflies and effects.
