Victor Solomon Releases 'Dream Team' Basketball Vessel
Limited to an edition of 500.
Victor Solomon is ready for the Olympic Games. Known for blending the worlds of basketball with fine art, the Boston-born, Los Angeles-based artist has released a new limited edition vessel inspired by the US Dream Team of the early ’90s.
The US National Basketball Team are defending champs and will be eyeing to secure a record 17th gold medal when they hit the courts in Paris later this month. 2024 will be the last dance for a number of players, however, as LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant will likely make their last Olympics appearance, passing the torch to younger stars on the roster — from Anthony Edwards and NBA champion Jayson Tatum to Tyrese Haliburton and Bam Adebayo.
“The basketball is a vessel,” wrote Solomon in a statement, ” – a vessel for competition, a vessel for community, for creativity and as we embark on the Olympics – for our country.”
Limited to an edition of 100, The Dream Team Vessel is a 7.8 inch molded crystal basketball that is hand-painted with gold enamel seams and embedded with an American flag. For collectors looking to purchase, the sculpture is available at the artist’s Literally Balling website for $500 USD.
