Every year at this time I go online and buy the one gift I know most all my friends will love... artist towels produced by the Art Production Fund's "Works on Whatever" series. The program has been sponsored by Target for three years now and each year they get better and better. Plus, the towels sell for only $50 each and the dough goes to the Art Production Fund to support future art projects. This year's towels are AMAZING, and feature the works of Raymond Pettibon, Julian Schnabel, Karen Kilimnik and Ed Ruscha. (I have to smash my Kehinde Wiley and Cindy Sherman towels from last year and my Jeff Koons towels from the year before into the corner of my closet to make room for this years purchases.) You can pick them up this week at The Raleigh and Standard hotels in Miami during Art Basel, or you can buy them online at Target.com or worksonwhatever.com.
It's a great cause, a great deal, a great gift and a great collectors item. Check 'em out!
