Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto, whose carrés d'artiste are on display from June 12 to 21 at the Museum der Kulturen in Switzerland, is the latest contributor to the series.

German artist Josef Albers (1888–1976) was one of the art world's great color theorists, as is evident from his vibrant prints for Hèrmes. Albers' Homages to the Square pieces were originally painted as oils on panel over the course of 25 years, starting in 1949. In 2008, Hèrmes chose this series as the first artist collaboration in their Editeur collection.
