Matthew Barney 'Cremaster Cycle' cap, c. 2002 Guggenheim Museum

About the Item

A Matthew Barney Cremaster Cycle cap, circa 2002. This incredibly rare hat was made in a limited edition for The Cremaster Cycle (1994-2002) exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum. It prominently features the artist's iconic insignia named the 'Field Emblem' on the front of the cap. This symbol—an ellipse with a horizontal line bisecting it—is recurring in all five films and represents the artist's notion of self-imposed restraint over an organic system. Embroidered on the backside is the exhibition title alongside the museum—a detail that holds particular significance as this exhibit marked the final culmination of the 8 year series. Due to the scarcity and high quality of Barney's merchandise, this hat is truly an extraordinary find.
