Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
What else would you have the daughter of sculptor Paul Matisse, granddaughter of art dealer Pierre Matisse, and great-granddaughter of French painter Henri Matisse do? She’s an artist.
She will be exhibiting 5 chess sets in an exhibition called “The Art of the Game” at the Beyond the Border International Contemporary Art Fair in San Diego (September 2 – 4). You can buy them for $16,000 a pop.

While nice, the pictured set doesn’t seem very functional. The board art is obviously way too distracting!
