About the Item
Basquiat: Caught in the Crossfire is a very heartfelt and personal tribute to Basquiat and a large statement piece and with this painting Sax takes up the mantle and upgrades the concept to "No Kings".
This is a painting of museum quality that also has a very personal meaning for Berlin. From his beginnings "locked in the basement" "Basquiat paints like an ape": overworked, over celebrated, turned into a mascot. All used up and dead in the crossfire before he could grow up. A truly poignant rendering of a short life lived in the harsh glare of the media spotlight. In Berlin's own words, "This is my garden of remembrance to Basquiat fellow artist from the streets of Manhattan". (In the 1980's Sax Berlin was a contemporary of Basquiat living working and painting in New York City.)
Oil and acrylic paint and 24ct gold leaf on stretched canvas.

Sax Berlin
We are privileged to sell works on behalf of Sax Berlin. Sax, arguably the finest exponent of 21st Century Classicism, has devoted his life to absorbing the culture of art and architecture in Europe, Asia & North America. He is undoubtedly a genius of our times and one of the great secrets of modern art. When one reviews his oeuvre, 10 distinct & separate styles emerge, displaying Berlin’s mastery of his subject. In fact only Picasso has achieved this height of genius. His students and collectors call him “The Master”. Berlin is a unique artist, using techniques mastered during his studies; ranging from antiquity through the medieval and Renaissance to the present; he creates the visual outcomes he wants and that delight collectors. The paintings Berlin has created in his New York, Greek and Cornish studios are of museum quality and are rarely seen in Art Sales offering a combination of beautiful artworks and investment opportunity. Harvard University refer to him as a Master Artist. The President of the Asia Society on Park Avenue, NYC wrote to Berlin that “your work is beautiful” and Bernard Faure, Professor of Asia Studies at Columbia University wrote “your icons really do have a life of their own”. Sax Berlin is a modern Master Painter in the truest sense of the term and follows in the footsteps of the Great Masters of the past.

Wherever one travels to in the world it's inevitable that one sees the heritage of wild-style graffiti.
