Art may soothe the soul, but a little retail therapy can also go a long way. While we all stay home to protect those in our communities, and all museums and galleries are closed, the Hyperallergic Store is still open and has been stocked with some of the best art-inspired gifts, books, and toys.
If you're seeking something special to brighten your day or someone else’s, take a look at some of our favorite products that we sell in our store.
For a real boredom-buster, try the Louise Bourgeois Memory Card Game! It brings together famous textile works and quotes from Bourgeois herself in a fun and educational game that can be played by both children and adults. And if you really want to make the most of it, you can even stick the pieces on your wall.
What better way to let your loved ones know how much you miss them than by sending them a beautifully crafted pop-up card inspired by a painting of a lonely man’s bedroom? Part of a collection of cards based on famous artworks, this pop-up is based on Vincent van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles series.
Now more than ever, it’s of the utmost importance to support activists and artists. This handkerchief by intersectional feminist activist-artist group Guerrilla Girls makes for a polite but firm reminder that most art collections are embarrassingly lacking in their representation of work by women. (Shop our whole Guerrilla Girls collection!)
Brighten up your home office with this action figure of Claude Monet. Part of a series of collectibles including Frida Kahlo, Leonardo da Vinci, and more, this Monet figurine holds one of his famous water lilies in his hand and keeps a tiny happy frog companion in his pocket. Best of all, if you dunk him in hot water, his outfit changes color!
As we count down the hours until the end of quarantine, let this melting pocket watch, inspired by one of Salvador Dalí’s most recognizable works, The Persistence of Memory, serve as a badge of honor for all the time you spent responsibly indoors. (Shop more art-inspired enamel pins!)
