| Gallery label | In 2003, Japanese artist Takashi Murakami was commissioned by Louis Vuitton's then Artistic Director, Marc Jacobs, to redesign the fashion house’s classic logo. The result was a limited-edition canvas bag, silk-screened with a brightly coloured LV monogram called 'Eye Love'. The printed surface was created from 62 different colours applied by using 93 separate screens.
