Designer Virgil Abloh and artist Takashi Murakami currently have a collaborative exhibition by the name of 'AMERICA TOO' on show at Beverly Hill's Gagosian. To accompany the art, there is now a surprise launch of a highly exclusive graphic tee available through Gagosian's online shop. The piece is adorned in the same design visuals that are found on the larger paintings and sculptures displayed at the exhibition.
The tee is priced at $369 a piece and limited to only 500 for order and pick up at the Gagosian. It boasts the design aesthetics of both artists, with the signature OFF-WHITE arrows going through Murakami's iteration of the star and striped motifs, complete with a range of different eye designs done in the cartoon-like artwork.
