The World Poker Tour (WPT) and artist Daniel Arsham have collaborated on an exclusive, limited-edition poker set, with only 100 pieces available worldwide.

The two have previously collaborated in 2023, with all WPT Season XXI winner’s trophies designed by Arsham.

With only a few poker sets left, PokerNews spoke with both Arsham and WPT CEO Adam Pliska about this fusion of poker and art, which offers a unique collectable for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

A Blend of Poker and Art

Arsham, known for his transformative artistic vision, sees the audience as a blend of poker enthusiasts and art collectors, but with a twist.

“It’s about bringing two worlds together,” he told PokerNews. “One that’s traditionally grounded in strategy, competition, and performance, and another rooted in creativity, design, and aesthetics.”

That duality is a key aspect of Arsham’s work; to him, it’s not just a game set — it’s an art piece that the hopes art collectors will gravitate towards due to its completely different form.

“It’s a rare, limited edition that offers not just a piece of my creative vision but also something tangible they can incorporate into their lives in a more functional, playful way.

“And for poker enthusiasts, it’s a way to elevate their experience. I hope it’s something that speaks to their passion for the game, while also offering a new perspective on what poker can represent.”

Meanwhile, Pliska called it “by far the most impressive” poker product collaborations he’s overseen in the more than 20 years he’s worked in the industry.

“Seeing Daniel’s creative process firsthand—his dedication to his art and his genuine passion for the game—was truly inspiring. The set itself is stunning, and using it feels like a luxurious experience that instantly elevates the social atmosphere of the game.”

Future Collaborations on the Horizon?

The success of this collaboration has sparked interest in future projects.

“The WPT has also worked with Daniel on artistic elements in our televised set and award pieces,” said Pliska. “Daniel, as one of the most sought-after artists today, brought his unique vision to the project, and we would be honored to collaborate with him again in the future.”

Arsham, a poker fan, shared, “I play with my dad whenever we have a chance. The Poker fundraiser at Perrotin Gallery for the Cooper Union was a good refresher before the WPT World Championships in 2023. It was exciting to play on the TV set I designed for the WPT.”

However, time is running out for fans to get their hands on the chip set.

“It’s a rare collectible that any true poker aficionado would want to own,” said Pliska. “The set itself is stunning, and using it feels like a luxurious experience that instantly elevates the social atmosphere of the game. So we’re not surprised by the strong initial demand.”
