THE END: UNKNOWN, KENZO MINAMI, AND EDWARD RUSCHA

Recently, I saw this magazine clipping at a friend's house:Then, Blackbird got this Kenzo Minami t-shirt and I definitely took note and remembered the magazine clipping though I didn't think much about it...
However, on my recent trip to NY, I stumbled across this painting at MOMA. Could it just be coincidence? Perhaps...either way, the t-shirt and the painting are both rad.
