Hermès Editeu

For the third impression of "Pocket Squares as Works of Art" Hermès, a manufacturer of luxury goods, invited the artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. This meeting between contemporary art and traditional craftsmanship was shown for the first time in the Museum der Kulturen during Art Basel. Hiroshi Sugimoto (1948) is a Japanese artist and photographer who lives and works in New York. In 2009 he received the "Praemium Imperiale", a prize awarded on behalf of the Japanese imperial family. It is regarded as the Nobel Prize for Art.
