Necktie
Pablo Picasso is one of the most recognizable artists of the 20th century. He was adept at producing thought-provoking works of art in an unstable time. Picasso's art on this tie is likely the product of a rare custom design created in a hand printing process. It is unique, complete with Picasso's printed signature, furthering its status as wearable art.
