Fred Perry created a series of limited edition polos with artist Trey Speegle for Art Basel 2009. Each shirt is printed with a Speegle work, highlighting his use of the paint-by-numbers medium. In addition to the limited-edition 11 shirts, each is packaged with a signed print of the design. These were on hand at the Semi-Automatic “vending machine” at the Mondrian during Art Basel Miami (which has now concluded), so unless you have an art aficionado friend who picked one up, you may be out of luck.

Here it finally is. We have heard about this for a while and now we can finally show you pictures of the Takashi Murakami x Pharrell Williams x Jacob sculpture, which was made for the Art Basel fair this year. Murakami created a sculpture and Jacob the jeweler re-created some of Pharrell’s products of choice in premium metals and diamonds. The blinged out objects, including a Pepsi can, Ice Cream Sneakers, Cupcake, Doritos and a condom, have been placed in the mouth of the Takashi Murakami sculpture.

The sculpture is being exhibited from today at the booth of Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin at Art Basel.

Many more images of the Takashi Murakami x Pharrell Williams x Jacob & Co artwork follow after the jump.

Teaming with fashion label Moncler, British artist Stuart Semple has taken a few of the companies logo Ducks (in 160cm fiberglass form) and decorated them. They’ll be unveiled during Art Basel Miami Beach, and then will tour Moncler flagship stores before being auction in February. Proceeds of the auction will benefit The Child Priority Foundation.

Looking purely at the base model for the project, it is worth noting a similarity to the public art/statue campaigns led by New York and Chicago with the Art Cows. Same general idea, same general intent. Just a specter of exclusivity thrown on top. (Via This.Hearts.On.Fire).

More of Stuart Semple’s Moncler Ducks after the jump.

+41 has created an art installation inspired by the almost religious fanaticism surrounding the beautiful game. Titled “Holygame,” the piece ties together a series of football boots to form a monument to football. As part of the NIKE 1/1 project it was exhibited last week in Milan, and will be mounted again in June for the Art Basel Fair.
A great reminder to prepare for EURO ‘08!

With the soccer championships just around the corner, Nike launched a very interesting new project – Nike 1/1.
Nick Knight was chosen as the curator of the project. He chose 11 established talents in 11 countries in Europe to work with him. These associates invite artists in their countries to submit works on the topic “Art Of Football”. Then Nick Knight and the 1/1 associates select a short list of artists to present works on the topic. The 11 best pieces out of this section are chosen to exhibit in Basel during Art Basel this summer. One final winner will also see his artwork appear on a limited edition series of Nike Dunks and furthermore the best works overall will be published in the 1/1 Art Book.
A great project. We are already curious what the results will be. We will be reporting more in the near future on the project.
Anybody can participate and send in work. All you have to do is go to the dedicated website of the project.
