      Hiroshi Sugimoto For Hermès

      In collaboration with Hermès, 20 of Hiroshi Sugimoto’s abstract color studies have been translated into signed, limited edition, silk scarves. Couleurs de l’ombre, as the collection is called, is a moving tribute to the lowly Polaroid.

      Of its US$10,000 price tag, Sugimoto says “It’s serious art for me. And if it’s serious art, for me, it’s also very reasonably priced.”
