Description
The art object “Icon XXI”, created in 2021 as part of the Memorabilia Art project, combines an authentic autograph of Lionel Messi with an original game-worn FC Barcelona jersey from the 2019–2020 season.
The centerpiece of the work is the game-worn jersey used by Messi in official matches, giving the object exceptional historical and collectible value. His autograph, executed in black marker, is integrated into the composition, reinforcing its significance as a unique artifact of football history.
In this work, Messi is presented as an icon of the 21st century — a player who defined modern football. His achievements and records established him as one of the greatest athletes of all time.
The piece transforms a game-worn jersey into a contemporary art object, merging sport and art into a single concept. The autograph functions not only as an authentication but as a symbol of an era.
