San Antonio artist Andy Benavides has changed his Louis Vuitton Wembanyama art installation piece into 'Luis Vaton,' an homage to pachuco culture.
Au revoir, Louis Vuitton. Hola, Luis Vaton. Remember the fake LV pop-up store on the South Side featuring Spurs star and Vuitton brand ambassador Victor Wembanyama? The Instagramable art installation recently got a puro San Antonio makeover, courtesy San Antonio artist Andy Benavides. Now the spoof of the Prada Marfa store has spoofed itself.
' Benavides added that the legal team expressed their appreciation for the arts and understood the connection to the Prada piece in West Texas. Benavides came up with the original Vuitton/Wembanyama concept, which fellow San Antonio artist Chris Montoya brought to life last month. For the redo, Benavides went back to Montoya for the Luis Vaton sign writing and turned to San Antonio photographer Al Rendon for the titular model on the front door.
