Jean-Michel Basquiat - (1960-1988)

Now I post on auction Jean Michel Basquiat, Pez Dispenser, 1984, licensed by Artestar, New York, copyright Estate of Jean Michel Basquiat. Printed in the UK 3/24 10JCT3 This amazing piece, officially licensed by the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat and printed in the UK, offers museum-quality detail on premium Monte Carlo 300gsm watercolor paper. Crafted at the historic St. Cuthbert's Mill in Somerset, the paper combines the elegance of handmade character with the precision of modern conservation standards. Basquiat chellenged the notions of fine art by including popular imagery in his paintings, such as this cartoon drawing of a dinosaur adorned with his trademark symbol, a crown. The title, 'Pez Dispenser', also refers to the Austrian confectionary company Pez whose sweet dispensers were shaped like famous characters from popular culture. By including recognisable imagery and referencing the candy giant Pez, Basquiat draws attention to the significance of consumer culture in 1980s America.
