Summers End TWO-Day Mega Auction- Part 1
Lot 209059:
Description
Large in the manner of Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988, American) original painting. This painting is done in the smae style and technique as Basquiat by an unknwon artist. Basquiat first achieved notoriety in the late 1970s as part of the graffiti duo SAMO, alongside Al Diaz, writing enigmatic epigrams all over Manhattan, particularly in the cultural hotbed of the Lower East Side where rap, punk, and street art coalesced into early hip-hop music culture. By the early 1980s, his paintings were being exhibited in galleries and museums internationally. At 21, Basquiat became the youngest artist to ever take part in Documenta in Kassel, Germany. At 22, he was one of the youngest to exhibit at the Whitney Biennial in New York. The Whitney Museum of American Art held a retrospective of his artwork in 1992.
Size: 36 X 48″
