DALLAS — The Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Sam F by Jean-Michel Basquiat, the first work by the iconic American artist to enter the Museum’s collection. Given to the DMA by the late Samuel and Helga Feldman, the painting was created during the artist’s visit to Dallas in 1985. The expressionistic portrait of Samuel exhibits Basquiat’s characteristic use of dense, meaning-laden text and imagery drawn from multiple sources, including pop culture figures, music and literature, and art historical iconography, among others. Basquiat often painted on salvaged materials, and Sam F is painted in oil on a door from the Dallas apartment building in which he was staying. Sam F will be exhibited at the DMA on the main concourse until February 2022.
