The Grand Collaboration
Jean-Michel Basquiat
Jean-Michel Basquiat was a jack of all trades: musician, graffiti artist and poet. But he is most famous for his paintings.
Ligne Blanche Paris was created in 2007 to unite the best of two exciting worlds: contemporary art and lifestyle.
Their first collaboration was with The Guggenheim Museum, they created for them a range of personalized sweets.
Ligne Blanche Paris offers a product line – perfumed candles, porcelains and linen - that brings the allure of vibrant contemporary and modern artworks into the everyday life of the growing number of art lovers.
They work in exclusive collaboration with the Keith HARING Foundation, the Andy WARHOL Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Robert MAPPLETHORPE Foundation, the Jean-Michel BASQUIAT Foundation and the René MAGRITTE Foundation to develop products that respect the artworks and the spirit of the artists they represent.
They also work with living artists Erwin WURM, Gilbert & George, Georg BASELITZ and David SALLE.
The MOMA Museum in New York offered Ligne Blanche Paris its windows to launch our porcelain plates created in exclusivity with American artists Alex KATZ, Robert LONGO, Jack PIERSON and Tom SACHS.
Ligne Blanche Paris products are made in France. Their porcelains are created in collaboration with Limoges Porcelain.
Meet Limoges Porcelain
Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain produced by factories in and around the city of Limoges, France.
The first porcelain with the Limoges mark was produced in 1771. Limoges had all the essential natural ingredients needed to create world-class porcelain—kaolin, feldspar and quartz—but, just as importantly, the region had a vibrant history of craftsmanship that dated back nearly a millennium. In 1830, Limoges porcelain had replaced Paris as the main porcelain manufacturer. Remaining dominant at the very top of the market Limoges has maintained this position to the present day.
