Get Your Art On: Cindy Sherman, Elizabeth Peyton, Jeff Koons, Kehinde Wiley and Target's Artist Towel Series

We're doing this thing lately of being mindful and all that in regards to all matters fashion. It means we buy a lot less a lot less often, but we still have the jones for beautiful, interesting design -- which has now been sublimated into thinking about stuff like dishes and bed linens and guitar straps. And we still love Target, so it all came nicely together when they announced their latest design endeavor: a series of limited edition fine-art towels designed by artists to benefit Art Production Fund's initiatives for major civic artwork projects. All part of a design to take art out of the white cube and into unexpected places, these aren't just any artists: they're genuine greats, like Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons, Kehinde Wiley and Elizabeth Peyton. (Part of the proceeds for the Koons towel will go to the Koons Family Institute, which is a resource of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.) You can peep the designs below; the towels are available on November 19 for $50 on target.com and worksonwhatever.com. (And at Art Basel Miami on December 5-9, if you're artsy and jet-settery that way.)

Kehinde Wiley:

I don't know how they're going to get some of this detail on terrycloth, but that's part of the surprise, no? Naturally, our favorite is the Elizabeth Peyton towel; I like the idea of toweling off with Sid Vicious in a strange way.
