The Los Angeles Clippers unveil public artworks at the Intuit Dome

Gillian Zucker, CEO of Halo Sports & Entertainment, unveiled six commissioned public artworks at Intuit Dome, the new home of the Los Angeles Clippers, last week. Transforming the campus into an inclusive gathering place, the world class murals, digital installations and sculpture made specifically for the site are a celebration of community and the power of creative spirit.

The public artworks include murals, digital installations and a sculpture created by L.A.-area artists Refik Anadol, Glenn Kaino, Patrick Martinez, Michael Massenburg, Kyungmi Shin and Jennifer Steinkamp. A seventh major commissioned artwork, by Charles Gaines, will be unveiled at a later date.

“We designed Intuit Dome to be a place that brings people together,” Zucker said. “When it came to our public art, we wanted to deliver a collection that is as compelling to people well-versed in art as it is to a novice viewer. We are eager to make these unique works from these amazing artists available to everyone when Intuit Dome opens in August.”

Adding to the creative experience, the Clippers commissioned MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” winner Walter J. Hood, founder and creative director of Hood Design Studio, to design the landscape of Intuit Dome’s campus. Internationally acclaimed fashion photographer and filmmaker Glen Luchford additionally created player portrait photographs to be installed inside the arena, and renowned visual artist Jonas Wood will design the L.A. Clippers City Edition uniforms and court. At opening, Intuit Dome will also feature an exhibition of photographs by Catherine Opie, on loan from MOCA Los Angeles.

The L.A. Clippers will move to Intuit Dome in Inglewood from the Crypto.com Arena in DTLA at the start of the 2024-25 season. The Clippers have played at Crypto.com Arena, formerly known as Staples Center, since 1999, sharing the venue with the Lakers and Kings. The $2 billion arena, which has 18,000 seats, promises to redefine the live sports experience and benefit the local community.

Montblanc to launch a new collection of four unisex fragrances

German luxury goods brand Montblanc will launch The Montblanc Collection next month: a line of new fragrances that pay tribute to the company’s rich heritage of creativity and craftsmanship. 

Crafted from fine, precious ingredients, each of the four fragrances in the collection will reveal a different aspect of a legendary marque. Black Meisterstück is a tribute to incense, warmed up with notes of warm spices and precious wood. Patchouli Ink magnifies the intense dark and mysterious facet of patchouli softened in a veil of musks and woods. Extreme Leather exalts the character of a refined leather accord wrapped into the smoothness of iris and musky notes. Vetiver Glacier is a burst of freshness embodied by a combination of bergamot and sandalwood, enhanced by the invigorating fusion of black currant and lavandin.

The generous 125 mL bottle is shaped like a Montblanc glass ink bottle with a black lacquer cap crowned with the unmistakable Montblanc emblem in white. Along the side of the bottle, a metal strip recalls the clip of the Meisterstück (their iconic pen) etched with the name of the fragrance. Each fragrance will retail for $140.

“While our Maison’s story has been captured in many forms, this is the first time it has been told through the captivating medium of fragrance,” Montblanc creative director Marco Tomasetta said. 

Founded in Berlin in 1906, the company is best known for its luxury writing instruments. Since 1993, Montblanc has been part of the Swiss Richemont group.
