Look out, art dealers, there’s a new competitor in the space. New York’s iconic Saks Fifth Avenue, where well-heeled shoppers go to snap up the latest from designers like Chloé and Saint Laurent, is venturing from the world of fashion into the sphere of contemporary art. 

The century-old luxury retailer has launched its own collection of 100 limited edition prints by notable names like Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Alex Katz, Sol LeWitt, Eva Lootz, and Donald Sultan. Some pieces from the collection are now on view at the store’s legendary windows at its New York flagship, accompanying a selection of the season’s clothes inspired by the art. The collection will continue to grow, and will be on view at more and more Saks stores from coast to coast later in the fall, as well as at the company’s website. 

Prices for the current assortment available on the site range widely, from $600 to $10,650; pieces on view in the stores range as high as $34,000. Art advisors will be on hand at select stores.

“Fashion and art are two highly coveted categories within the luxury space, and we’re thrilled to introduce a fine art curation,” said Tracy Margolies, the company’s chief merchandising officer, in press materials. “Our customers seek Saks’s fresh perspective and luxury edit, and we are excited for them to discover this inspiring assortment. Appealing to both art enthusiasts and collectors alike, Saks is opening a new door for artists to reach a luxury audience.”

Spanning from lithography and engraving to silkscreen and photography, the group of works includes some that are exclusive to Saks, including works by Cuban sculptor and mixed-media artist Kcho and Barcelona-born, U.K.-based photographer Xavier Ribas Sorolla.

If pop-up displays of some of the works in the collection at select stores aren’t enough to help you envision them chez vous, you’ll be able to scan a QR code that will allow you to see the works in 3D from home, and a “See In Your Space” feature on mobile phones will lead to an A.R. experience with a true-to-scale preview.
