- Description
- A color photograph of Travis Scott captured by Dana Scruggs for Rolling Stone magazine. The close-up photograph of Scott was taken in Brooklyn, New York.
- Scott is shown from the chest up, facing the viewer. His proper left arm is raised and he is holding the top of his hand and wrist to his forehead, as if wiping away brow sweat. He is wearing a rainbow, tied dyed T-shirt, two thick, diamond studded chain necklaces, stud diamond earrings, four rings double stacked on his middle and pinky fingers, and an Audemars Piguet wristwatch with the letters [AP] etched into clasp. Scott’s eyes are closed and his mouth is slightly open showing his upper and lower, diamond studded, grills. Thin strands of blond hair fall on either side of his face. Behind Scott is a photographic backdrop with a cloudy tan to brown gradient pattern.
- The photograph has an uneven, thick, white border because the image is printed off center.
- The verso is plain white. In the bottom left quadrant, is the artist’s signature, the print’s edition number, and print date handwritten in black ink that reads [Dana Scruggs / 1/7 + 2 AP / 2022[underlined]].
