The fifth lot to go under the hammer is a literally eye-catching Hermes Birkin Bag - 35 cm, Togo leather, Golden HardWare - with an immaculate replication of the Belgian Surrealist master artist Rene Magritte’s enigmatic and allegorical painting titled Specchio Falso or The False Mirror in which a giant lash-less eye with the pupil reflecting fluffy white clouds afloat in a luminous blue sky covers the canvas and seems to both see and be seen.
The original painting rendered in ‘magical surrealist’ style in 1928 today hangs in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, where it has been a prized display since 1936. An influential artwork of 20th century, Specchio Falso is a thought-provoking painting that directly inspired the famous CBS TV Network logo.
ARTBURO has now put this landmark illusionistic art on another enduring icon of our times, the Hermes Birkin Bag, which has been wowing the women of high taste for three decades. The result is a stunning piece of wearable art that not only has a hypnotizing and mesmerizing quality, it is also a work of excellence that will go on gaining value in esthetic as well as commercial terms. This is the bag for the demigoddess who rises above the mundane to see both the bigger picture and the fine details with utmost assurance.
The ARTBURO team of artists has rendered a flawless reproduction of the much-acclaimed painting in impeccable detail on a premium Hermes Birkin Bag to take perfection to an even higher level. The paints used here are the best quality Italian ones and the artwork is further sealed with ARTBURO’s secret technology with fully water-resistant properties. The bag comes guaranteed against fading, chipping, peeling or warping of the artwork.
Just as there will never be another authentic Specchio Falso, there will never be another ARTBURO custom bag bearing a replication of this exquisite painting. To ensure exclusivity and uniqueness of its custom bags, the company has a strict policy of never repeating its designs.
This absolutely only-one-of-its-kind bag is now ready to receive bids from connoisseurs who love both, high art and high fashion.
