Warhol on leather: Sisley Art Project
By Jake Flanagin, November 10th, 2010
On Tuesday, October 10, 2010, the Italian fashion brand Sisley (of the Benetton Group) exhibited and auctioned off a collection of one-of-a-kind motorcycle jackets specially painted by today’s most noted pop artists. Curated by Glenn O’Brien, the exhibition was launched at a gala during Milan Fashion Week, and the pieces were sold online and at Christie’s in New York on November 8 to benefit the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
