Tom Sachs Fanta Black Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Always delivering ingenious artful cultural items, Tom Sachs recently released his latest purchasable art, the Fanta Black Long-Sleeve T-shirts.
A quirky interpretation of the soda brand’s logo informed by the blackest black paint in existence, the top is centered around a bold label print. Moreover, the left sleeve features the text: “It won’t fail because of me.” While the right sleeve is embellished with “Tom Sachs Color Systems 6MBGH.” Printed on a Fruit of the Loom blank by LQQK Studio, the artist is seemingly poking fun at the blackest black paint in existence, Vantablack — a material developed by Surrey NanoSystems in the United Kingdom.
