c.2020

About the Item

Bearbrick and Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat 400% and 100% Vinyl Figures: Set of 2: A unique Basquiat Bearbrick statue set trademarked & licensed by the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The partnered collectibles reveal licensed original iconic 1980s Basquiat imagery wrapping the figures in their entirety. Each new & housed in a unique Basquiat collector's box. Medium: Vinyl Figures: Year: c.2020. Each larger figure measures 11 x 5 inches, respectively (each also accompanied by a one inch version of same). Condition: Each new in original packaging. Smooth surface; bright lush colors. Published by Medicom from a sold out limited series of unknown. Estate trademark present on each box & the underside of feet. Please note exact patterns may vary. Further Background: BE@RBRICKs are a form of collectible toy that resemble a cross between LEGO and well, a bear. These block-style figurines boast teddy bear-style heads that have become an integral pillar of the collectible toy scene. In fact, it wouldn’t be so far-fetched to say that it almost single-handedly carved out the fad of toy collecting in modern times, treading the very fine line between toy and art. Since its inception, BE@RBRICKs have become one of the most recognizable characters in the world, and some of the most sought after. Basquiat Cabra (1981-82): "At first glance, it is the striking crimson hue of Cabra that sets this painting apart from other works by Basquiat. However, upon closer inspection, the brilliant mind of this contemporary artist comes into full view. Executed at a time when Basquiat was exploring his Haitian and Puerto Rican roots, and becoming increasingly interested in the power and scrutiny of black athletes, the present work belongs to a group of paintings inspired by boxing icons including Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jersey Joe Walcott and others. Cabra is unique in its articulation of a historic evening in 1970 when Muhammad Ali – the greatest of all time – knocked out revered heavy-weight fighter Oscar Bonavena, also known as 'The Bull'. The iconic boxing ring, the hieroglyphic 'TKO' 3 above the bull's skull and, finally, the clever play on words – Cabra is Spanish for 'goat' or GOAT, shorthand for the Greatest of All Time, Muhammad Ali – all add to this physiologically searing and visually-moving painting of one of Basquiat's long-time heroes."
