The most historic and popularized image of the 1980's New York art scene. Not to be passed upon. Medium: Offset lithograph. 1985. Dimensions: 12 x 19 inches. Fair overall vintage condition; small edge-line tears in a few areas; moderate signs of handling throughout; fold-line/crease along lower left; surface creasing lower right; scattered surface marks; curling that would flatten upon matting & framing. Published by Tony Shafrazi, New York and Bruno Bischofberger, Switzerland. Photograph by Michael Halsband. Provenance: Private Collection, New York. History: Tony Shafrazi, November 2015: "My good friend, the Swiss gallerist Bruno Bischofberger, had worked with Andy Warhol since the mid 1960s. He got to know Jean-Michel’s paintings and started working with him in 1982 or ’83. There had been a suggestion of a collaboration between Warhol, Basquiat, and Francesco Clemente. Then, Jean-Michel and Andy, very enthusiastically and seriously, went on to undertake a whole processes of painting collaboratively at Warhol’s Factory for a year to a year and half, making somewhere between 70 and 80 large paintings that represented an extraordinary—and very rare in history—body of work. Their joint body of work represented a whole year and half of collaboration and production. It was not an overnight thing. The two artists worked together, one painting over the other, back and forth, and I immediately thought of two people sparring and boxing together, which is how I hit upon the idea of a boxing theme for the show’s advertisement."
