Description

This T-shirt is made of medium weight cotton and showcases a captivating artwork called "Dos Cabezas." The artwork features a portrait of the renowned artist Jean-Michel Basquiat alongside Andy Warhol, both printed on the front of the shirt. Adding to its uniqueness, the bottom right of the shirt includes a sewn-in woven tag that displays handwritten text taken from one of Basquiat's famous notebook pages.

The story behind the artwork is equally fascinating. After Basquiat and Warhol met and established a friendship, Basquiat painted this double portrait and sent it to Warhol's studio, known as The Factory. In response, Warhol created his own portraits of Basquiat, and the two artists went on to collaborate on numerous works. However, "Dos Cabezas" stands out as the only joint portrait of Warhol and Basquiat, making it a truly special piece.

Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the best known artists of his generation and is widely considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His career in art spanned the late 1970s through the 1980s until his death in 1988, at the age of 27. Basquiat works are edgy and raw, and through a bold sense of color and composition, he maintains a fine balance between seemingly contradictory forces such as control and spontaneity, menace and wit, urban imagery and primitivism. The Basquiat brand embodies the values and aspirations of young, international urban culture.
The conjunction of various media is an integral element of Basquiat's art. His paintings are typically covered with text and codes of all kinds: words, letters, numerals, pictograms, logos, map symbols, diagrams and more, and featured multi-panel paintings and individual canvases with exposed stretcher bars, the surface dense with writing, collage and imagery.
