ABOUT

For​ ​his​ ​new​ ​collaboration,​ ​Louis​ ​Vuitton​ ​called​ ​upon​ ​a​ ​major​ ​figure​ ​in​ ​contemporary​ ​art,​ ​New​ ​York​ ​artist​ ​Jeff​ ​Koons.​ ​The​ ​masterpieces​ ​by​ ​Leonardo​ ​da​ ​Vinci,​ ​Rubens​ ​and​ ​Fragonard​ ​have​ ​been​ ​adapted​ ​to​ ​the​ ​pieces​ ​that​ ​make​ ​up​ ​this​ ​new​ ​collection​ ​of​ ​bags​ ​and​ ​accessories,​ ​entitled​ ​The​ ​Da​ ​Vinci​ ​Collection.

After​ ​collaborating​ ​with​ ​Takashi​ ​Murakami,​ ​Stephen​ ​Sprouse​ ​or​ ​Olafur​ ​Eliasson​ ​Louis​ ​Vuitton​ ​chose​ ​Jeff​ ​Koons​ ​to​ ​imagine​ ​a​ ​new​ ​collection.​ ​Famous​ ​for​ ​his​ ​monumental​ ​metal​ ​works,​ ​the​ ​artist​ ​transposes​ ​paintings​ ​by​ ​masters​ ​such​ ​as​ ​Leonardo​ ​da​ ​Vinci,​ ​Titian,​ ​Van​ ​Gogh​ ​or​ ​Rubens,​ ​this​ ​time​ ​on​ ​bags​ ​and​ ​accessories.​ ​By​ ​choosing​ ​works​ ​that​ ​are​ ​part​ ​of​ ​the​ ​collective​ ​memory,​ ​the​ ​Masters​ ​series​ ​invites​ ​the​ ​public​ ​to​ ​take​ ​a​ ​new​ ​look​ ​at​ ​great​ ​painters​ ​by​ ​taking​ ​them​ ​out​ ​of​ ​museums.

Jeff​ ​Koons​ ​reinterprets​ ​the​ ​iconic​ ​Monogram​ ​in​ ​metallic​ ​details,​ ​affixed​ ​to​ ​the​ ​outside​ ​of​ ​the​ ​bag​ ​and​ ​topping​ ​the​ ​artist’s​ ​signature,​ ​a​ ​first​ ​for​ ​the​ ​House.​ ​Each​ ​creation​ ​is​ ​adorned​ ​with​ ​a​ ​bag​ ​accessory​ ​depicting​ ​the​ ​Rabbit,​ ​the​ ​famous​ ​work​ ​of​ ​the​ ​contemporary​ ​artist,​ ​while​ ​inside​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​biography​ ​and​ ​a​ ​portrait​ ​of​ ​the​ ​painter​ ​whose​ ​painting​ ​is​ ​reproduced​ ​on​ ​the​ ​bag.

To​ ​perfectly​ ​adapt​ ​the​ ​works​ ​on​ ​the​ ​accessories​ ​and​ ​canvas​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Speedy,​ ​Keepal​ ​or​ ​Neverfull​ ​bags,​ ​Louis​ ​Vuitton​ ​pushed​ ​the​ ​limits​ ​of​ ​his​ ​know-how​ ​and​ ​developed​ ​new​ ​techniques.​ ​This​ ​collaboration​ ​is​ ​a​ ​first​ ​step​ ​and​ ​other​ ​chapters​ ​will​ ​be​ ​part​ ​of​ ​this​ ​project​ ​to​ ​celebrate​ ​the​ ​Maison’s​ ​multiple​ ​links​ ​with​ ​art​ ​history
