Basquiat In Italian Hat

Crafted from premium cotton twill, this five-panel cap showcases an all-over design inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat's iconic "In Italian" artwork. A refined accessory that merges contemporary art with everyday wear. Curved bill in black Low-profile design Spot clean Basquiat's "In Italian" exemplifies his signature methodology of collaging disparate cultural registers—juxtaposing numismatic imagery, classical textual fragments, and vernacular visual language. The composition synthesizes his multivalent interests: monetary systems, ecclesiastical symbolism, anatomical inquiry, and art historical canon. This cap renders that conceptual density accessible, presenting the work's intricate layering of references across its surface.
