Hank Willis Thomas brings one of football’s most iconic images to a new limited edition print.
Depicting the legendary Brazilian footballer Pelé’s bicycle kick, this work is a classic example of Thomas’ conceptual approach – reframing familiar cultural images to explore identity, history and mass media.
Its title, “Success is no accident.”, comes from one of Pelé’s most celebrated quotes: “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”
