Exhibition and Sale of Artist T-Shirt Collection
Agnès b. is also known as a fan of various contemporary art forms, including photography and graffiti. Since opening her one-of-a-kind Parisian gallery, Galerie du Jour, in 1984, Agnès has supported emerging artists and collected works by a diverse range of artists. Her passion for art is evident in her artist T-shirt collection. In 1994, following advice from Cuban artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres, she created a simple white T-shirt bearing the words "Nobody owns me," which became a huge success. Since then, Agnès has invited both well-known and unknown artists from France and other countries to release T-shirts featuring their free-spirited works on a canvas-like white background. Artists who have participated include Gilbert & George, Jonas Mekas, and Harmony Korine, and each season, she offers artist T-shirts for men, women, and children. At the Gion store, she will exhibit and sell this season's new and past season's artist T-shirts.
