Published in homage and support of The Battery Conservancy in New York City and on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the installation of the Hermes boutique there.

• The Battery Conservancy is an association founded in 1994 and is a partner of the New York City Parks and Recreation Department. The Battery is a large park located on the southern tip of Manhattan Island, NY. In 2007, while downtown New York was still rebuilding after the World Trade Center terrorist attacks, Hermes was among the first companies to return to the area. The association honored the House of Hermes at its annual gala on June 8, 2017 for its contribution to the recovery of downtown New York.
• Sold during the gala on 6 August 2017 as well as in New York Hermes boutiques and on the internet / 90 x 90 cm / 100% silk

Histoires De Carres > Spring-Summer 2020

Located at the far end of Manhattan, The Battery is the park that runs alongside the Hudson opposite Ellis Island, where immigrants were processed at the beginning of the last century, and Liberty Island, which is dominated by the Statue of Liberty. Close to wall Street, it remains a place for remembrance and strolling. Ugo Gattoni presents it in his own way, adding his personal vision of the city. He outlines its contours, its skyscrapers, the vegetation and the long esplanade at the water's edge, and supplements it with a few surprising details: a foot sculpture atop a tower, a monumental hand emerging from the Hudson, and a host of little characters busying themselves here and there.
