At Art Basel, a banana taped to a wall forced a question:
Who decides what something is worth?
The materials were ordinary.
The price was six million dollars.
That contradiction is the foundation of this piece.
Each garment in The $6.1 Mil Statement collection is ONE/01.
Hand-dyed.
Hand-bleached.
Hand-screened.
No two are alike.
When it’s gone, it’s gone.
This piece was developed over eight weeks.
Nothing automated.
Nothing rushed.
Every mark is intentional.
The distressing is permanent.
The variation is permanent.
The process is visible.
The front references the intervention.
The back states the thesis:
VALUE IS A CONCEPT.
This is not a production run.
It’s an artifact.
Burnt Oxtail (L)
This piece was originally labeled XL, however it underwent an intensive cleaning and treatment process prior to finishing. During this process, the garment was professionally pre-shrunk, resulting in a fit closer to a true L.
Final measured size:
