Description
Artist: Jean-Michel Basquiat & Andy Warhol (Americans, 20th Century).
Title: "Warhol * Basquiat Paintings [original first printing]".
Medium: Original color offset lithograph.
Date: 1985.
Lot Note(s): Signed by both artists in black marker. Edition unknown, presumed small. Smooth cream medium weight wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good condition; colors very good; a few minor handling marks, else fine. Overall size: 19 x 12 in. (483 x 305 mm). Image size: 19 x 12 in. (483 x 305 mm). The legendary, iconic, and famous poster of two of the greatest artists of the latter part of the 20th Century, perhaps the most poignant and enduring image of the 1980's NYC art scene. We could locate only 11 sales of this poster in the past 28 years, with only five of these being signed. The auction record for a signed example is $6,600 at Christie's New York, May 1, 2007, lot #839. The image is by Michael Halsband. The show displayed the collaborative paintings that Warhol and Basquiat worked on from 1984-1985. These works were the culmination of their friendship, one which began in the late 70's. Eventually, the two began work on the paintings that would constitute the bulk of this exhibition. But the process was not without conflict. Warhol, whose work ethic was legendary, grew frustrated with Basquiat's erratic appearances and the two worked very little on the paintings at the same time. The show was a financial and critical failure and marked the end of their friendship. The full title of the poster is: Tony Shafrazi * Bruno Bischofberger Present: Warhol * Basquiat Paintings, September 14 through October 19, 1985, 163 Mercer Street, New York. [27961-3-3000]
