• Raymond Pettibon Towel

  

  Contemporary artist works printed on giant beach towels. This one features a work by Raymond Pettibon, with text across the top that reads, “Later he could be seen in the beach parking lot, behind his van, a towel wrapped around his middle, changing out of his wet summer suit.”

  I love the idea of hanging these from your towel racks in an all-white bathroom.
