The clothing company has also drawn on art for its spring women's collection, with a Web site statement that reads: "We created an entirely new color vocabulary combining the Pop art of Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Hockney with the dreamy Impressionist work of Manet, Monet, and Degas."

"The result," it adds, "is a collection that's a work of art in itself."

Last April, J.Crew shot its 2008 spring catalogs on location in Richard Neutra's Kaufmann House, which Christie's auctioned off for $16.8 million at its postwar and contemporary sale a month later; the sale, however, fell through.
