Mobile Art was a joint project of Chanel and Zaha Hadid Architects. Hadid was asked by Karl Lagerfeld to design a mobile art pavilion inspired by one of Chanel's signature creations, the quilted bag. The pavilion or mobile art container was to house an admission-free exhibition which would tour throughout Asia, the United States and Europe and involved twenty-one international artists.

This publication marked the opening of the Chanel Art Container in Hong Kong in February 2008. Included are photographs by Terry Richardson, Karl Lagerfeld, Olivier Saillant, Stephan Crasneanscki and Camille Vivier; interviews with Zaha Hadid and Karl Lagerfeld; statements by the artists; and essays by others involved in the project. The text is in English. Very good .
