This limited edition deck of cards features Kehinde Wiley’s 2008 painting Morpheus, reimagined from the Jean-Antoine Houdon 1777 marble sculpture of the same name. Featured in the 2008 exhibition “Down” at Deitch Projects, the series references and re-conceptualizes classic pictorial forms of heroism in the face of death. Morpheus features a model from Brooklyn, lain across a white sheet while florals from the background spring into life around his body. Unlike its 18th century counterpart, he addresses onlookers with direct eye contact and a seductive look of invitation, with the repeating floral background protruding into the foreground. 52 playing cards.

This exclusive notebook showcases Kehinde Wiley's 2005 painting, Investiture of Bishop Harold as the Duke of Franconia, commissioned by Spike Lee. The painting depicts a Black man adorned in a Brooklyn Dodgers jersey bearing the number 42—a homage to Jackie Robinson. Wiley's artistic approach seamlessly intertwines with art history, as evidenced by the title's reference to an 18th-century Giambattista Tiepolo painting. The piece not only pays tribute to Robinson, but also resonates with Spike Lee's iconic 1989 film "Do The Right Thing," where the protagonist, Mookie, dons the same jersey.

This deck of cards features Kehinde Wiley’s 2007 painting Officer of the Hussars.

At first glance, like many Kehinde Wiley paintings, makes viewers observe who has power. 54 playing cards, linen embossed finish. Designed in New York. Made in USA. Exclusive.

This Limited Edition Deck of Cards features Kehinde Wiley's 2007 masterpiece, St. Bartholomew. Wiley skillfully reimagines Jusepe de Ribera's 1634 painting of the same title, inviting us to traverse the crossroads of tradition and contemporary identity. Through vibrant patterns, the artist breathes new life into the historical narrative, presenting a powerful portrayal of a modern saint. Mirroring its 17th-century counterpart, the composition remains nearly identical, with a background adorned in vintage and ornate details of kittens, yarn, and chicks, playfully patterning around the model's body and extending into the soft pink foreground. 54 playing cards, linen embossed finish.
