Basquiat at Vrej Baghoomian gallery 1989 (Basquiat Red Warrior announcement)

By Jean-Michel Basquiat

Located in NEW YORK, NY

Basquiat: Vrej Baghoomian gallery New York, 1989: Vintage original folding announcement card to Jean-Michel Basquiat at Vrej Baghoomian Gallery New York: 10/21 to 11/25, 1989. Pictured on front side is an image of Basquiat's iconic, 'Red Warrior.' A rare, highly collectible Basquiat ephemera piece that works well in any collection. Off-set printed gallery announcement. 8.75 x 5.75 inches (folded closed). Light signs of handling; otherwise very good overall vintage condition. Published by Vrej Baghoomian Gallery, New York, 1989. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. Scarce. Jean-Michel Basquiat rose to success during the 1980s. Basquiat’s paintings are largely responsible for elevating graffiti artists into the realm of the New York gallery scene. His spray-painted crowns and scribbled words referenced everything from his Haitian and Puerto Rican heritage, to political issues, pop-culture icons, and Biblical verse. The gestural marks and expressive nature of his work not only aligned him with the street art of Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf, but also the Neo-Expressionists Julian Schnabel and David Salle. “If you wanna talk about influence, man, then you've got to realize that influence is not influence,” he said of his process. After quickly rising to fame in the early 1980s, Basquiat was befriended by many celebrities and artists, including Andy Warhol, with whom he made several collaborative works. At only 27, his troubles with fame and drug addiction led to his tragic death from a heroin overdose on August 12, 1988 in New York, NY. The Whitney Museum of American Art held the artist’s first retrospective from October 1992 to February 1993. Related Categories: Basquiat Tony Shafrazi. Basquiat ephemera. Basquiat poster.

Bob Ross Painting Signed Original Oil on 16x20 Inch Canvas with Bob Ross Inc COA

By Bob Ross

Located in Minneapolis, MN

Artist: Bob Ross Title: Untitled (Similar to "Peaceful Waters" from Season 3, Episode 13 of "The Joy of Painting") Dimensions: 16" x 20" Medium: Original Oil on Canvas Painting Year: 1979 Inscription: Signed and dated "Ross 79" in red, lower left front Executed in 1979, this untitled landscape by Bob Ross exemplifies the artist's early mature style, developed in tandem with the launch of his widely influential PBS series The Joy of Painting. Working in oil on canvas, Ross employs his characteristic wet-on-wet technique to construct a serene natural vista defined by crisp atmospheric transitions and controlled spontaneity. The composition is anchored by a distant mountain range rendered in cool blue and white tonalities, its snow-covered peaks receding into a softly diffused sky. This sense of depth is reinforced through the gradual modulation of color and value, a hallmark of Ross's approach to landscape painting. The foreground is articulated through a calm body of water bordered by clusters of evergreen trees and low vegetation, their forms built with economical brushwork and subtle textural variation. The reflective surface of the lake introduces a compositional counterbalance, mirroring the surrounding landscape while guiding the viewer's eye horizontally across the picture plane. Ross's use of framing elements—particularly the verticality of the trees at either side—creates a natural aperture, directing attention toward the central mountainous horizon and enhancing the illusion of spatial continuity. Though often associated with instructional painting, works such as this reveal a deliberate compositional structure and sensitivity to light, atmosphere, and balance. The restrained palette and clarity of form align with traditions of American landscape painting, while the immediacy of execution underscores Ross's pedagogical intent: to demonstrate that complex natural scenes can be achieved through accessible, repeatable techniques. The work is signed and dated "Ross 79" in red pigment at the lower left. Measuring 16 x 20 inches, the painting stands as a representative example of Ross's early output, bridging his role as both educator and practitioner within the broader context of late 20th-century American art. About Bob Ross Bob Ross remains one of the most recognizable figures in late 20th-century American art, celebrated for both his distinctive landscape paintings and his unprecedented impact on public engagement with painting. Best known as the creator and host of the long-running PBS television series The Joy of Painting (1983–1994), Ross produced thousands of original works, characterized by serene natural settings—mountains, forests, lakes, and skies—executed in his signature wet-on-wet oil painting technique. Ross's artistic practice emphasized accessibility, spontaneity, and technical efficiency. His method allowed him to complete fully realized compositions in a single sitting, a process that became central to his teaching philosophy and mass appeal. While often positioned outside traditional academic art circles during his lifetime, Ross's work has undergone significant reevaluation, with growing recognition of its cultural and artistic importance. In recent years, Smithsonian Institution has acquired original Bob Ross...
