Destination Leica in Hollywood
Roland Wolff is the Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Retail for Leica, ultimately responsible for all of their branded retail outlets in the Americas, including the Leica boutiques and stores. For the opening of the new Leica Store and Gallery in Hollywood, he welcomes with excitement the huge version of Liao Yibai's 'Fake Leica'
"What’s the story and idea behind the “Fake Leica” sculpture?"
"Duncan Meeder, owner of the Dutch Leica Store Lisse, initiated this project and Yibai Liao is the artist behind it. The “Fake Leica” will be the first thing that people will see as they enter the Store. It’s huge, weighing in around 770 pounds, and makes a great first impression. I’m grateful it was sent here. The sculpture is big, beautiful and unique just like the new Leica Store and Gallery L.A."
