The Romero Britto set is great too! The idea of making labels that can be composed like a mosaic to form a bigger illustration was a great idea.
Yes, the 2025 Pop by Nature set. It was my least favorite Chiquita set of all time. I was relieved to see them step back from that AI angle and release the gorgeous hand-drawn 2026 set by Jiaqi Wang. Though in terms of the "Pop by Nature" series I think Romero Britto was the best! I hope they will keep promoting real artist work.
Yeah, it's pretty sad. I collect labels for the same reason.
Strangely, I believe Chiquita was among the first big brands to introduce AI-generated labels, even though they luckily keep publishing art from real artists.
I will go into a bit more detail about this argument in the proper Catalog entry, if you're interested.

P.S. (unrelated to this Catalog)
An artwork clearly AI-generated was among the winners of the latest art contest by Marlene (a famous italian apple brand), that was to celebrate the 30 years in a "creative manner".
Even the winner fails the majority of AI-tests with great margin.

Now we are entering the era of AI generated labels :( sad. One reason I collect is because I enjoy and respect the artistry and creativity that people, especially smaller banana farmers, put into designing the labels. I will omit AI labels from my collection.
