Description
Introducing a medium weight fleece crewneck that proudly showcases Basquiat's iconic album cover artwork, Beat Bop. Just like the album cover itself, this sweatshirt is printed on both the front and back. Adding a touch of authenticity, the bottom left front features a sewn-in woven tag adorned with handwritten text taken directly from Basquiat's renowned notebook pages.
Let's delve into the significance of the artwork: One of Jean-Michel Basquiat's most sought-after creations is the record album artwork for the early hip-hop record, Beat Bop, which he not only produced but also self-financed. Released under his own Tartown record label, the original 500 vinyl pressings of this album are now considered highly valuable in the market.
By wearing this crewneck sweatshirt, you not only embrace the comfort and style of a well-crafted garment but also carry a piece of Basquiat's artistic legacy with you. The striking display of the Beat Bop artwork on both the front and back creates a visually captivating design. Furthermore, the inclusion of the sewn-in woven tag featuring Basquiat's handwritten text adds a unique and personal touch.
This sweatshirt is a testament to Basquiat's influence on the hip-hop and art worlds, allowing you to express your appreciation for his groundbreaking contributions. It's a fashionable statement that pays homage to Basquiat's creativity and serves as a reminder of the value and significance of his work.
