CHANEL’S MOBILE ART EXHIBIT hits Central Park!
All year long New York City welcomes a variety of public art displays and exhibits. New York City welcomes, Monday October 20, Karl Lagerfeld’s Mobile Art Exhibit honoring the 50 year anniversary of Chanel’s famous quilted handbag. Chanel’s Mobile Art Exhibit, designed by the renowned London architect Zaha Hadid, will stop in Rumsey Playfield in Central Park (midpark at 70st street). The Pavillon will be open to the public from October 20 to November 9.
The Mobile Art Pavilion has been inspired by one of Chanel?s signature creations, the quilted bag. Fifteen artists will display works inspired by the legendary accessory. Each one was asked to create a work that was at least in part inspired by Chanel?s classic 2.55 quilted-style chain handbag, so named because it was first issued in February 1955. It will round out the tour in Moscow, London and Paris.
Admission to the exhibition in Central Park will be free, although visitors are advised to book timed tickets at chanel-mobileart.com.
