About the Item

World Famous YP x JM Basquiat Date of creation: 2024 Medium: PVC or Silicon piping with LED lights mounted on recycled acrylic board Edition: Open Size: 71 x 15 cm Condition: Brand new World Famous refers to Basquiat's irony and commentary on his own fame. Despite being a young artist who came from a humble background, he quickly rose to international fame in the art world. By incorporating the phrase World Famous into his works, Basquiat plays with the idea of fame, acknowledging his own success in a world where power structures, art elites and social expectations often dictate what or who can be famous. In this way, the phrase can be seen as an affirmation of his rise to prominence, but also a reflection on the artificiality and ephemerality of fame itself. On the other hand, World Famous also reflects the context of pop culture and graffiti iconography, of which Basquiat was a part. The repetition of phrases like this is a characteristic of the visual language of graffiti, which often uses high-impact slogans and phrases to get noticed and challenge social norms. In this sense, World Famous speaks not only to Basquiat's personal fame, but also to his participation in a cultural movement that redefines the rules of art and its accessibility. In addition, World Famous may have broader connotations related to racism, power, and access. As an African American artist who broke into the art world at a time dominated by white artists, Basquiat used this phrase to challenge racial norms and expectations, suggesting that he, as an artist, could also achieve “world famous” status, despite the social and racial barriers that existed in art. In this sense, the phrase becomes a form of vindication, an act of presence and resistance in a space that traditionally had not accommodated artists like him. The flexible LED tube is safe and environmentally friendly, too! Set the light to the time of day with adjustable brightness. © Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Licensed by Artestar, New York. Each sign is made of a neon flex material, consisting of PVC or Silicon piping with LED lights, that is mounted on a recycled acrylic board. These materials allow to create realistic neon signs, with bright lights and intense color, while being more durable, affordable, and sustainable than traditional neon. Sustainability is taken seriously thanks to its LED lights which consumes 6 times less energy than traditional lights, lasting up to 100,000 hours. These neon is crafted using recycled materials and 100% recycled packaging, including removing all useless plastic.
