ARTBURO have launched the hand painted Bugaboo Twin Donkey stroller with detail of the original painting Yayoi Kusama "Yellow Trees" 1994 art.
Exceptional Piece for VIP client.
This custom made ARTBURO & Bugaboo stroller will be a First Car for amazing twin boys.
The Bugaboo is a state-of-the-art stroller. The Donkey model pictured here even has a sidecar for carrying your groceries and transforms into a double child-carrier.
This brand has been nicknamed the “sports car of the stroller world”. Gwyneth Paltrow, Gwen Stefani, Kate Hudson, Hilary Duff, Victoria Beckham, Sienna Miller and Elton John all have one. They even used a Bugaboo for a few shots in Sex and the City.
Its only downsides are that it does not fit in the boot of any standard car, or onto a bus, and it takes an engineering degree to work out how to fold the thing. Want to know why? The Bugaboo was originally designed as engineer Max Barenbrug’s graduation project in 1994. He designed it for men, not for women or children. He said he saw too many dads struggling with strollers covered in “stupid colours” that were not functional, so he designed a stroller that was all about function and mobility.
He made a prototype to be used by men for everything from running on the beach, to getting up and down stairs, to packing it into a tiny car boot. Manufacturers hated the idea, and he was forced to redesign it to look “flashier” and meet the required safety standards.
From Bugaboo’s launch in 1999, it was a must-have item for celebrities and other parents with money.
Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama was born in Matsumoto, Japan in 1929. She lives and works in Tokyo.
In the 1960s, Beatrice Perry's Gres Gallery played an important role in establishing Kusama's career in the United States. Ota Fine Arts, Kusama's longtime Tokyo dealer, has worked with the artist since the 1980s. Kusama left Gagosian Gallery in late 2012; before moving to Gagosian, she had been with Robert Miller Gallery, New York.Kusama has been represented by Victoria Miro Gallery since the early 2000s, and joined David Zwirner in 2013. The artist is currently represented by David Zwirner, Ota Fine Arts, and Victoria Miro Gallery.
Kusama's work has performed strongly at auction: top prices for her work are for paintings from the late 1950s and early 1960s. As of 2012, her work has the highest turnover of any living woman artist.In November 2008, Christie's New York sold a 1959 white "Infinity Net" painting formerly owned by Donald Judd,No. 2, for US$5.1 million, then a record for a living female artist. In comparison, the highest price for a sculpture from her New York years is £72,500 (US$147,687), fetched by the 1965 wool, pasta, paint and hanger assemblage Golden Macaroni Jacket at Sotheby's London in October 2007. A 2006 acrylic on fiberglass-reinforced plastic pumpkin earned $264,000, the top price for one of her sculptures, also at Sotheby's in 2007Her 'Flame of Life - Dedicated to Tu-Fu (Du-Fu)' sold for US$960,000 at Art Basel/Hong Kong in May 2013, the highest price paid at the show. Kusama became the most expensive living female artist at auction when White No. 28 (1960) from her signature “Infinity Nets” series sold for $7.1 million at a 2014 Christie's auction.
