This limited-edition silk twill scarf by Ed Ruscha, produced by Massif Central, was released by (RED) and Gagosian. Sales directly benefit (RED), where the net proceeds raised will support the fight for equitable access to COVID relief in the world’s most vulnerable communities. Doubling the impact, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will generously match every dollar raised for the Global Fund.
In 1986, Ruscha made the original drawing on which the scarf is based, inspired by a phrase he saw inscribed in stone above the entrance to the science block of Los Angeles’s storied Hollywood High School. In the current global political climate, where suspicion and demonization of science and medicine have been widespread, this prescient image has gained new resonance and topicality. In the processes of revelation in the often circuitous path toward truth, science and scientific thinking intersect with art—probing and searching intellectually and philosophically while seeking material consequences and outcomes. Like the most elegant of scientific theories, Ruscha’s images and idioms are at once irreducibly straightforward and heroically expansive.

Lenin by Komar & MelamidRegular price $250.00
Lenin by Komar & Melamid
Komar & Melamid have created white ceramic candlesticks entitled, Lenin (1992). An existing statue of Lenin, which the artists brought with them from Russia, was appropriated and modified to accommodate a one-half inch standard candle. With this edition the statue of Lenin has been transformed from domestic monument to banal consumer commodity.
Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid were both born in Moscow on the heels of World War II and the ensuing Cold War era. The Cold War was, first and foremost, a conflict of political ideologies between the democratic powers of the west and the communist super power of the east. It was during this political climate that Komar & Melamid, whose collaboration began while attending the Moscow Art School from 1958 to 1960, started making work that exemplified this political dynamism, rigorously testing the boundaries of their own civic identities with humor and sharp satire. Komar & Melamid, the identity the duo would come to adopt, immigrated to America in the late 1970s where they continued to examine the political implications of communist society through numerous projects. Lenin reveals the war that has since endured — the war of market economics. -
Two Heroic Sisters Silk Scarf by Kehinde WileyRegular price $350.00
Two Heroic Sisters Silk Scarf by Kehinde Wiley
This limited edition silk twill scarf features Kehinde Wiley’s painting, Two Heroic Sisters of the Grassland, 2011. Titled after the Chinese parable about two Mongolian sisters who almost sacrifice their lives to protect their flock of sheep, the piece depicts two subjects, possibly brothers, who stand side by side with their arms in a salute. Based around a story which explores themes of dedication and perseverance, this piece demonstrates the power of unity over division and the importance of the black community to engage in harmony, especially in the face of adversity. This scarf also features a patterned background of navy blue chrysanthemums attached to graceful vines, and is presented in a monogrammed rigid box, wrapped in branded tissue paper.
