Work of Art

Art for BabyA pop quiz in honor of back-to-school season. What do Louis Vuitton, a life-size diamond skull that fetched $100 million at auction, and the image to the left have in common? Keith Haring Baby

They’re all connected to artists/designers who have images featured in a new board book called Art for Baby. The whimsical pop artist Takashi Murakami, sometimes referred to as the Andy Warhol of Japan, designed Louis Vuitton’s wildly popular colored logo (”Monogram Multicolore”) and Cherry Blossom lines. Damien Hirst did the diamond skull (”For the Love of God”), and the late Keith Haring created the “Radiant Baby” to the left. In all, Art for Baby features black-and-white images from 11 of the world’s leading modern artists. The high-contrast patterns and designs are especially suitable for young babies because their sight isn’t yet fully developed.

Looks like the art market is rebounding.

Available next week at amazon.com.
