Since the waterfalls came down, New York needed a new, exciting public art piece to get everyone jazzed up again. That is why Zaha Hadid’s Chanel Mobile Art Pavilion is the new talk of the town.  This 7,500 square foot luxurious art piece is the result of a collaboration of the iconic fashion house and renowned architect, Zaha Hadid, and represents a unique form of art branding.

This spacecraft looking sculpture is a shiny flattish circle and contains an art exhibit of 15 contemporary artists’ works inspired by Chanel’s quilted 2.55 bag, including “a giant Pop Art-style quilted handbag lined with pink fur” which contains “a makeup compact in which you can view a video of women shooting handbags with guns.”

The piece has received a lot of criticism and word has it that Chanel paid $400,000 to rent space in the park, and has made an additional donation to the Central Park Conservancy. The exhibit is free and is located at Rumsey Playfield at 70th Street.
