RedBubble Pty Ltd (a proprietary limited company abbreviated as ‘Pty Ltd’ is an Australian business structure) advertises in 2015 as follows: ‘Gerhard Richter Style is also available as Throw Pillows, Drawstring Bags, Art Prints, Canvas Prints, and Posters’. Here three tote bags inspired by abstract paintings of Gerhard Richter directly referring to subsequently “Abstracts Bild I”, “Abstracts Bild V” and “Abstracts Bild IV” [sic].
For some reason in 2018 these Style Tote Bags 2015 are not offered anymore by RedBubble Pty Ltd. In stead a company called Society6.com and FineArtAmerica.com have started to sell similar products.
In 2019 FineArtAmerica.com offers on its side only four products that are made with the consent of Gerhard Richter. Shown are two ‘Throw Pillows’ and two ‘Tote bags’ with reproduced details of two paintings.
RedBuble Pty Ltd sells not only in-the-style-of, but also merchandised Gerhard Richter products. See more at RedBubble Gerhard Richter products.

MATHIEU MERCIER, Dé, 2015
41 x 41 x 3 cm
metal, enameled, modified reflective road sign
verso signed, numbered
edition 24 + 6 AP
published by More Publishers, Brussels, Belgium
inv. MMer 380-pr
In Dé a dice is depicted on a reflective road sign combining circle, cube and dots. It may be looked at as a ‘non-art’ material that has the aura of modernity or contemporary art.
Design is a central theme in Mercier‘s work. Ordinary objects designed with the ambition to be modern are subject to his appropriating way of working. His arrangements of objects and interventions make reference to modernity and post-modernity. Shop culture and high culture converge in his works and presented in a museum or gallery context a certain estrangement is created. He combines ‘non-art’ materials of common household objects with art historical references by making use of e.g. the primary colours Mondrian used.

Descriptions of the term tote or tate for bags, meaning bags “to carry”, can be traced back to 1900. During the 1950s, tote bags began to enter into the main culture. Women primarily utilized them as practical handheld bags because they didn’t require much care.
Merchandising art can be considered as a form of commercial appropriation. Previously merchandise products like that were usually put on the market after the death of famous artists like Vincent van Gogh or Piet Mondriaan. Since Appropriation art came into fashion, nowadays living artists accept this spin-off income as almost part of the art they are making, I guess. It is striking that commodities like tote bags or mugs are offered for just a few years at venues like museums and then they disappear completely and become part of history.
Here a detail of a painting of Gerhard Richter called “1024 Farben” has been reproduced on a synthetic shopping bag apparently authorized or sanctioned by the artist as a product design by Loqi, a Limited Liability Company.

Most of previous ones are sold out (some are available at my gallery in Berlin). Each month I send out an email describing the new piece, and you can purchase one, and it is then mailed to you. Maybe this series could also be seen as a monthly mail art project as well.’
“…This is the email description for the August 2015 studio rent edition.
For an exhibition last year in Santa Barbara, California, I had 30 copies of my Public Access artist-book bound to library standards in an archival blue material with gold foil stamping by Trappist monks in Oregon. I drove up the California coast and left these books in local libraries.
The edition is five 4″x6″ photographs in a business envelope. The stamp and signature is on the back of the envelope…”

The edition for this month is two photographs taken on my friend’s (Julia Weist) property in the Catskill mountains some months apart. I laid my newborn daughter on the ground and surrounded her with Chinese and Japanese Wisteria seeds that I had harvested (against the garden’s policy) at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. I then left the seeds for nature to do its things… The second photograph was made later this summer when the plants began to grow. Hopefully, in the future, these Wisteria plants will continue to grow, and Ela Melanie can visit in late spring when they are all in full bloom with their purple flowers and sweet fragrances, and know that she had been there once….’ from an email of David Horvitz to Kees van Gelder

Glenn Ligon (1960) often incorporates language into his work to examine the ways in which identity and culture are constructed against the backdrop of the nation’s past. He appropriates a diverse range of writing, including literary passages from authors such as James Baldwin, Jean Genet, Gertrude Stein a.o.
Untitled (I Am Somebody) references the title of a poem written in the 1950s by civil rights activist Reverend William Holmes Borders and popularized by Reverend Jesse Jackson. Glenn Ligon used the print Untitled (I Am Somebody) for this object, having it placed on an MZ Wallace Metro Tote bag.
