When Art's Your Bag
Posted by Kelly
 Seen first at Art Basel Miami Beach, the Tommy Hilfiger limited edition tote featuring photography by the late artist Jeremy Blake is now available. All of the proceeds from the $125 bag go to a new photography program for low-income children in New York City run by Free Arts NYC, a nonprofit organization Blake supported that provides underprivileged children with educational arts and mentoring programs. Blake, who died in 2007, shortly after artist girlfriend Theresa Duncan—the media called the events a double suicide—was known for his digital artwork. His pieces have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Biennial and the San Francisco MOMA, as well as featured in the Paul Thomas Anderson film, Punch Drunk Love, and on musician Beck's album, Sea Change.
