This summer we're bringing the art of sneakers to
#PhillipsNY. Join us for tongue + chic, an exhibition of one-of-a-kind sneakers designed by leading artists including Takashi Murakami, KAWS, Kehinde Wiley, Jenny Holzer, Damien Hirst, Shantell Martin and more. Highlighting the exhibition is a pair of sneakers commissioned by tbwachiatny and handcrafted by theshoesurgeon. ‘Unboxed’ in front of millions by kustoo, the sneakers were featured in a high profile anti-slavery campaign on behalf of the thomsonreutersfoundation, and will be exhibited and auctioned online. All proceeds will benefit the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s antislavery initiatives. Stay tuned for more from our New York summer programming. tongue + chic is on view at 450 Park Avenue from 16 July through 31 August.
