About the Item

The lithograph print Pop Art exhibition poster is published by the famous Gagosian Gallery New York, printed in 1997 in an unnumbered limited edition on the occasion of the exhibition. It features a collaborations artwork image originally created by Warhol and Basquiat in 1984 - 1985 titled " F**k You Dentures ", copyright 1997 The Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts. Andy Warhol ( 1928 - 1987 ) and Jean Michel Basquiat ( 1960 - 1988 ) first met in 1982 and their collaborative work really began a couple years later. At Basquiat's dealer, Bruno Bischofberger's suggestion, Warhol and Basquiat began a series of collaborative paintings after what amounted to the brotherhood of the traveling canvas between Basquiat, Warhol and Italian artist Francesco Clemente. The rules were simple, each artist was to begin three separate paintings and one drawing each. They would leave enough " mental & physical space " for the other artists to contribute to the paintings, and the next person would begin to tell their story, apropos of nothing but their own imagination. The three artists continued this experience between them for about a year, and in late 1984 Warhol and Basquiat began secretly collaborating on their own. Warhol was inspired by Basquiat's energy and youth, and Basquiat had always idolized Warhol. During the collaborations, Warhol would usually be the one surprisingly to begin the painting. He would often silkscreen a recognizable logo or product onto the canvas, which Basquiat would promptly write of paint over, leaving his own trademark graffiti style on the work, creating a dialogue between the two personalities and aesthetics of each artist. Jean Michel Basquiat ( 1960 - 1988 ) was born to two Haitian immigrants in Brooklyn New York in 1960. His early creative career was as the Street graffiti artist nick named " Samo " in the late 1970's on New York City's Lower East Side. By the early 1980's with the help f his friend Andy Warhol, Basquiat began to make his emotionally charged aesthetically arresting Neo Expressionist paintings. In 1992 The Whitney Museum of Art did a retrospective exhibition of the life works of this great American Contemporary artists and master of social commentary. His work focused on suggestive dichotomies such as wealth vs poverty, integration vs segregation, and inner vs outer experience of the human condition. He appropriated poetry, drawing, painting, & married text and image with Abstraction and figuration. Basquiat's works had strong social commentary and deeper truths about the individual and the power structures of racism, and criticism of colonialism and support for class struggles.
