Le Tigre Umbrella

Title: Le Tigre umbrella

Description:

Le Tigre is a tiger carved in concrete relief in Balma, France, the first of Tiffany’s great cats. He moves through water with a steady gaze, his whiskers made from guitar strings and beaded with epoxy droplets. He stands for the things we carry without knowing why, until the day they find their place. The original won awards in France and now hangs in a private collection in East Lansing. This umbrella is the drawing from that piece, printed across the canopy with his eyes at the center, so the face reads whole when it’s open. Signed by the artist. Comes with the story card.
