Catalogue Note
Concept illustration for a silk scarf depicting the Wild Thing Moishe holding a "Wunderhorn" (borrowed from Outside Over There). In 1988 the fashion house Louis Vuitton commissioned leading artists, illustrators, graphic and scenic designers, and couturiers to create one-of-a-kind scarves to be including in a forthcoming benefit auction to fund AIDS research.
