AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In 2020, the collaboration initiated by the Japanese label Billionaire Boys Club (the brand of Pharrell Williams and Nigo) and the French artist André Saraiva gave rise to a very beautiful object that can be easily placed on a shelf or on a desk. Absolutely unavailable today, “The Astronaut Helmet” is here in its pink and green version. The famous “Monsieur A” in the form of a pink sphere is presented in a box shaped like a humanoid helmet, with a beautiful contrast between opacity and transparency. A must-have for the many fans of André. Not to be missed!

An ultra-rare and exclusive object:
- Height: 16 cm; width: 12.5 cm; depth: 12.5 cm
- Ball alone: 8 cm in diameter
- Like new in its sealed original packaging
- Our objects are packaged and protected with the utmost care and shipped insured and tracked.
- If you reside in the Paris region, you can come pick up the figurine directly at our gallery located in Paris 11th arrondissement.

About the artist:
André Saraiva, known as André or Monsieur A, is a key figure in the graffiti scene and urban contemporary art. Based in Paris since his adolescence, he rose to prominence in the 1990s with his iconic character “Monsieur A,” a little man with a top hat and a wide smile, which has become a signature worldwide. A prolific artist and versatile, he has built an international career spanning art, fashion, design and prestigious collaborations, confirming his place among the most recognized French artists of his generation, alongside Shepard Fairey, Invader, Kaws, Vhils, etc.
