A painting on card of a boxer by neo-Expressionist and artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Hailing from New York City, Basquiat is as famous for the paintings that he exhibited in US galleries as he is for the street art that he sprayed all over Manhattan as part of the renowned graffiti duo named SAMO.
Basquiat was quite naturally drawn to the dogged spirit of the boxer, a determined individual who took his knocks but kept on fighting. The artist himself wasn't averse to putting on the gloves, having once challenged fellow painter Julian Schnabel to a sparring match (it never manifested).
This painting is signed by Jean-Michel Basquiat across the boxers shorts and is stamped on the verso from his estate as of the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat. It also comes supplied with the letter from the estate from 2009. The image measures 13.5x11.75 inches and comes mounted and framed.
