Yes this icon of the visual arts world is stitching up deals left, right and centre, and the end result will see the name Guggenheim attached to a range of home furnishings, jewelry and eyewear products. What’s more the museum expects to earn at least $500,000 in royalties from that deal, which it will use for its education program. Money for a name? What has the arts world come to?
