About the Work

Christian Joy is an American costume designer and artist best known for her designs for the lead singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O. Joy first discovered her penchant for simple, bold shapes and unique textile patterns while working on the band's second album, Show Your Bones. Made from 100% Italian silk, this scarf is emblematic of Joy's distinct DIY and punk aesthetic - one that has been influential to the art and fashion scene for the past decade.

Artist Biography

Christian Joy (b.1973) is an American costume designer and artist best known for her designs for the lead singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O. Occasionally eschewing thread and print for glue and marker pens, she has influenced contemporary fashion with her punk and DIY sensibility. In June 2014, she was involved in the production of “The Spirit’s Knife,” directed by ioulex, and “Stop the Virgens” a psycho opera created by Karen O and KK Barrett in 2011. Other artists and performers she has designed for include Santigold, Oh Land, the Klaxons, the American Ballet Theater, Anna Sperber, and Isabella Boylston. A 2009 collaboration with TopShop resulted in three limited-edition collections. She has had solo shows at New York Fashion Week and the AVA Gallery (New York), as well as been featured in the New York Fashion Now exhibit at the Victoria & Albert Museum (London). Her work has been published in Nylon magazine, Time Magazine, the New York Times magazine, ELLEgirl - who introduced her as a guru of ‘DIY’ Fashion - and Time Out New York, who featured Joy on the cover of their Most Stylish New Yorkers issue.

Authentication & Resale

This work is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed and numbered by the artist. 

Be sure to keep your Certificate of Authenticity (COA) in a safe place. We are unable to replace or reissue COAs.

Framing

Framed artwork is custom framed once it is ordered. Allow 3-5 weeks for framing and delivery.

FRAME
All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced engineered hardwood that is manufactured in the USA. Frames are available in Black or White Matte and Walnut.

MAT
Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. Each mat’s surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conversation quality foam-core board. Some of our work (typically those pieces with a deckled edge) is floated on the matboard with spacers to separate the artwork from the glazing.

GLAZING
We use museum quality .060 mm plexiglass to frame your work. It blocks 82-85% of UV rays to prevent color fading from exposure to light, protecting your art for years to come.

DIMENSIONS
Our White and Black frames have a ⅞” wide flat face and are 15/16” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.

Our Natural and Walnut frames have a ¾” wide flat face and are 1 ⅛” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.

Any artwork that is floated will be placed in a frame that has a ⅝” wide flat face and is 1 5/16” deep. Work will be floated with a 1” border around it.
