Ultra rare limited edition David Wojnarowicz / Jonathan Anderson for Loewe t-shirt size small Originally a limited edition of 400 released in London, New York and Tokyo Designed by Loewe Creative Director Jonathan Anderson, the project served to “foster awareness and honor Wojnarowicz as a courageous creator and activist.” The series featured four of Wojnarowicz’s pieces printed on high-grade cotton crew necks. Wojnarowicz became a protagonist of the local art scene in Manhattan’s East Village in 1978. Many of his works, both visual and literary, center on themes of ostracism and isolation drawn from his experience as a gay man. After being diagnosed with Aids, Wojnarowicz’ art took on a vocal political stance and he produced some of the most important and challenging work around the Aids crisis throughout the 1980s. His scathing honesty earned the ire of federal authorities, and his work continues to spark controversy and inspire in our own time of growing cultural divisions around critical social issues concerning freedom, justice and equality. In creating this series Jonathan Anderson seeks to honor Wojnarowicz’s legacy and, in keeping with the mission of Visual Aids, maintain a dialogue about Aids through art. The T-shirt project coincided with the Loewe Foundation’s exhibition of works by Wojnarowicz and Peter Hujar, that was on view at the label’s Gran Via store in Madrid at the time. Made in Portugal Size runs small Small stitch missing on crew neck as seen in photo and slight, unnoticeable discolouration on front under main image
