Mary by lynne pell $1,833

Via The New York Times By NICHOLAS HARAMIS

This holiday season, thanks to some enterprising painters, sculptors and performers, giving a gallery-worthy present (or at least a comfy scarf or tee) doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

Nir Hod x Yigal Azrouël Genius I scarf, 2015 Cashmere $450

“Genius” Scarves: A collaboration between the artist Nir Hod and his friend, the fashion designer Yigal Azrouël, these cashmere scarves, printed with paintings from Hod’s “Genius” series, cheekily combine the fantasy of the holidays (cherubic children) with the reality of going home (disdainful eye-rolls and stolen cigarettes). $450, paulkasmingallery.com/shop

Hanna Liden “Everything” Sculpture $500.00

“Everything” Sculpture: The artist Hanna Liden turned heads this summer when she unveiled “Everything,” her gargantuan sculptures of stacked bagels, along the Hudson River in downtown Manhattan. Shrinking her starchy statues down to a more palatable size, she’s now selling them as resin tabletop objects dusted with bronze powder — and the bagel holes are just big enough to fit a candle (or, for a true homage to Liden’s project, a single tulip). $500, artproductionfund.org

Codesigned by Björk and the video artist Chris Cunningham $165

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006: Codesigned by the Icelandic musician Björk and the video artist Chris Cunningham (he directed her robot-sex-heavy “All Is Full of Love” video), this collector’s edition bottle of bubbly is lit from above with a beam of green, otherworldly light. $165, domperignon.com

F*** Negativity T-Shirt $ 39.95

Arcangel Surfware Tees and Sweats: Cory Arcangel, a master of digital tech art, is also an unlikely arbiter of athleisure style: For the last few years, he’s been designing T-shirts and sweats that look equally good — at least ironically — on someone pumping iron at the gym as headed to an opening at Team Gallery. (Warning: Some language at the link, including the title of this collection, is as colorful as Arcangel’s own Photoshopped gradient paintings.) $40-60, shop.arcangelsurfware.biz

TOILETPAPER THE END 1516 £799

“The End 1516” Pouf: From the image-only magazine Toiletpaper, founded by the artist Maurizio Cattelan and the photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari, comes the latest in their canon of must-have curios (previous collectibles include a ring adorned with the words “Why Me?” and a teakettle covered in floating phalanges): a limited-edition tombstone-shaped pouf made from “real-faux” Carrara marble and inscribed with some ominous words rendered in gold. About $900, shoptoiletpaper.com

Stormy desert by Katya Belilovsky $1,000
