Basquiat Movie Posters Japan: Set of 4 Works

About the Item

Basquiat Movie Posters: set of 4 works: Vintage Basquiat Japan movie posters/ flyers; comprised of two posters from the documentary 'Boom For Real The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat'; 'Basquiat Radiant Child' (director Tamra Davis) and the 1990's Basquiat feature film by Julian Schanebel. Measures approximately: 10.25 x 7.25 inches (applies to each individual piece). Condition: Minor signs of handling; otherwise very good overall condition. Well-suited for framing. Jean-Michel Basquiat’s dramatic life and iconic paintings—which variously feature obsessive scribbling, enigmatic symbols and diagrams, and iconography including skulls, masks, and the artist’s trademark crown—make him one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. The self-taught painter embraced graffiti before committing to a studio practice. He found a mentor and friend in Andy Warhol, who helped the young artist navigate the 1980s New York art world. Basquiat drew on his own Caribbean heritage; a convergence of African American, African, and Aztec cultural histories; classical themes; and pop cultural figures including athletes and musicians. Basquiat’s paintings now belong in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others. In 2017, Basquiat’s Untitled (1982) notched $110.5 million at auction and became the most expensive artwork by an American artist to ever be sold. Related categories Street Art. Pop Art.
