Ok...this is so cool. Authentic museum street banners are now available to the public for display in the home. Little did I know until surfing one of my favorite blogs, Apartment Therapy NYC, that all those vinyl museum banners were just tossed into the landfill after the show closed. (Of course they are...I just never thought about it before.) Better Wall had a better idea. Why not refurbish those banners and offer them to people who would love to make a dramatic statement in their home. All banners are, of course, limited edition and proceeds from each sale goes back to help support the museum.
Banners are the real thing having lived a previous life hanging from museums facades or street lamps. They are two sided and made of either vinyl or heavy canvas. All banners are carefully cleaned and stored in keeping with appropriate archival protocol and each comes with a certificate of authenticity.
You can choose banners from exhibitions held in New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Baltimore, Chicago, LA, Denver and Sacramento. Some of the available banners include Warhol's self portrait from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Bronzino Renaissance Portrait from The Art Institute of Chicago; Edvard Munch Angst from The Museum of Modern Art. Upcoming banners include Paul Cezanne, Diego Rivera, Pablo Picasso, and Paul Gauguin.
What a beautiful thing...a great design for your wall, support for the arts and a creative way toward eco-friendly responsible design. Better Wall has also integrated their passions for art, design, and the environment into a program for museums called the Recycle and Reuse Program. Hats off to you Better Wall!
