Hats Galore and More, 10061 Gratiot, 2013

Hats Galore & More, by Goodin Brothers The owner, Bob, said that the painting had been there 23 years. He called them classic hats. Luciano Pavarotti bought a $150 hat from him; Bob showed me a newspaper clipping of Pavarotti trying a Panama hat in his store. The ghetto outside the store doesn't bother him. "The store is not ghetto," Bob says. The store sign is reminiscent of the paintings of cakes, toys, and other common objects by the American artist Wayne Thiebaud.10061 Gratiot Ave., Detroit, 2001.
