1. Louis Vuitton Artycapucines
“I’ve never had the pretension to say that what I do is art, even less so when it’s a utilitarian object,” says contemporary artist Daniel Buren, who reimagined Louis Vuitton’s Capucines bag with the same black and white stripes and vibrant colors seen throughout his oeuvre. Produced in a quantity of just 200 examples (50 of each color), Buren’s striking design joins other Artycapucines conjured this season by Peter Marino, Park Seo-Bo, Ugo Rondinone, Kennedy Yanko, and Amélie Bertrand. Says Buren, “I hope that my Artycapucines will be understood above all as a bag approaching the realm of the beautiful.”

11. Peter Doig x Chateau Rothschild
For more than 75 years, Château Mouton Rothschild has featured an artwork on the label of their wines, soliciting creations from Olaful Eliasson, Marc Chagall, David Hockney, and Pablo Picasso for past bottles (and their original artworks remain on view at the château). This year, the winery has announced artist Peter Doig as the newest collaborator, commissioning a whimsical landscape for the 2020 vintage that blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. “The painting shows something of what goes on behind the scenes in the production of wine, what happens offstage, as it were,” Doig said in a statement. “It’s a sort of ode to workers, to all those involved at the various stages of making a wine before it’s finally bottled. It’s a dream with a romantic streak, as if someone spontaneously decided to sing in the vines. It’s a moment of poetry.”
