Art Basel Hong Kong
ART BASEL HONG KONG hosted this year a selection of artworks that are part of the “Lady Dior As Seen By” collection by Christian Dior.
It has been four years since one of my sculptures joined this collection as the first Spanish artist; more than 80 international artists such as David Lynch, Annie Wan Lai Kuen, Nan Goldin, Peter Lindbergh, Martin Parr, Kum Chi Keung and Olimpia Scarry have versioned the design of the famous LADY DIOR BAG created in 1995.
My proposal pays homage to the original design, reproducing and extolling the iconic quilted cannage and delves into the origins of its armonic proportions, replicating its shape through a solid steel ribbonthat retracts into itself.
