The LACMA Store and Art Catalogues are filled with great books, posters, housewares, art, jewelry, and more for your Valentine. Here are just a few suggestions from the selection.
Symbols of love, longevity, and peace, cranes mate for life. This lacquer box, exclusively at LACMA, was inspired by Cranes, the set of screens by Maruyama Ôkyo, currently on view in the Pavilion for Japanese Art.
Madam X, visionary artist and spiritual guide, created the series TRUE LOVE. This TRUE LOVE pennant is the perfect way to announce your feelings to the world—or to that special someone. Other items in the series include Madam X's box of 100% true love and her set of three little books on love.
In conjunction with the exhibition Robert Mapplethorpe: XYZ, this porcelain candle and cup, adorned with Mapplethorpe's delicate flower still life photograph, includes a fragrance created by the Givaudan perfumers Shyamala Maisondieu and Olivier Pescheux.
Alexandra Grant's special edition sterling silver Love Ring and Love Necklace were designed to benefit the Watts House Project (WHP).
