HERMES - Lot 62
HERMES "Les Amériques" 90 Silk Scarf by Kermit Oliver, released in 1992 to mark the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the New World. This scarf, which has never been reissued, depicts Christopher Columbus’s first encounter with the splendor of the New World. Amid a profusion of absolutely extraordinary details and colors, we discover its inhabitants, flora, and fauna, intertwined with the splendor of the Old World: a map of the world as it was known in 1492, a magnificent Native American figure, a stern-faced Columbus, and the ships—the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María. Kermit Oliver is the only American artist to have created designs for Hermès. It is said that it took him six months to complete the design for this piece, titled “The Americas,” such is the striking richness of its details. 90 x 90 cm *Sold by special order (available for review after the sale)
