Dry Yourself in Style with Artist Towel Series 2008
If you aren't ready to invest in contemporary art, how about drying yourself off with it? Target and Art Production Fund have created this set of four beach towels for the Artist Towel Series 2008. The artists featured are Kehinde Wiley, Elizabeth Peyton, Cindy Sherman, and Jeff Koons. The towels are part of Works on Whatever items which are designed by contemporary artists to bring art into everyday life The 60 x 70-inch cotton towels will be available for $50 on Target.com and worksonwhatever.com starting November 19. The towels will also be the official pool towels at the Raleigh Hotel during Art Basel Miami Beach December 5 to 9. Proceeds from sales benefit Art Production Fund's support of major civic artwork projects and half of all proceeds from Koons' towel will also support the Koons Family Institute, which is a resource of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
