As our first-ever soccer release with the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Artestar, New York, this special edition Jean-Michel Basquiat x Round21 soccer ball showcases iconic elements from Basquiat's work on the canvas of sports.
“Jean-Michel was confident… Instead of waiting for someone to crown him, he crowned himself. It was kind of a statement…saying I know who I am.” - Lisane Basquiat, Jean-Michel Basquiat's sister and co-administrator the Basquiat Estate
