What's Happening?
Brooklyn-based artist Jeremy Olson has been selected by Hermès to create a temporary art installation for their Madison Avenue flagship store's window display. Olson's installation features a whimsical
scene with a yellow horse character interacting with various Hermès products, such as a Cape Cod watch and a Samarcande mini chess set. The installation is part of Hermès's Vitrine d’artiste program, which invites artists to design creative window displays. Olson, known for his graphic aesthetic and dreamlike hyperrealism, collaborated with Hermès's fabrication partners to bring his vision to life, incorporating elements like bespoke lighting and furniture.
