Oh no! I may have started something. Here’s an excerpt from the latest entry from the Walker Art Center’s “Off Center” blog:
A quick answer to Rosenbaum’s query [about whether a boutique selling Richard Prince‘s Vuitton handbags might open at the Walker] comes with a stroll to the
Walker shop, where a table of products timed to the Prince exhibition
is stocked with dozens of posters, postcards, DVDs of films Prince
selected as personally inspiring, and stacks of handsome,
shrink-wrapped exhibition catalogues. Alas, no handbags. [ALAS?!?]“It’s a very high-end line and a very specific distribution. It’s
not something (Vuitton) would just sell to anyone, anywhere,” says
Nancy Gross, director of merchandising and facility rental at the
Walker. “Will I look into it? Maybe.”
Please don’t! I will feel personally responsible. What have I wrought?
They have even posted my photo of the Prince display at my nearby Vuitton store in Hackensack. I’ve really got to stop taking these mall photos.
