Museum gift shops have offered gift items for years but they used to be confined to a Van Gogh tie or a Picasso scarf. Some of todays most popular contemporary artist offer all sort of gifts and useful items, especially in demand during the holidays. Here are 6 of my favorite sites, including my own. (Did you think I was going to exclude myself? – shows how well you know me.) From top, left to right; Art Production Fund: New Ryan McGinley beach towel, 70 x 90″, $95. Gagosian Shop: Jean-Michele Basquiat Limogés plate, $150. Paul Kasmin Shop: Kenny Scharf “useful item” (i.e., bong) limited edition, various colors, $350.
