If you're a cyclist, a fan of Le Tour de France, or just plain like Nike shoes, then the newest exhibit at Paris' Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery. It's called the "STAGES Exhibition," a partnership between Lance Armstrong and Nike to bring together 20 famous artists for the cause of cancer awareness. Pieces in the show, all inspired by Lance's message of "Livestrong," come from some seriously illustrious names: Shepard Fairey, Damien Hirst, Marc Newson, Andreas Gursky, Kaws, José Parla, Richard Prince, Ed Ruscha, and Tom Sachs. The exhibit opened today and will run through August 8; check out a preview of pieces on display here.
