Linocut on black paper. Featuring Neo-Expressionist style figure. Signed and attr. Jean-Michel Basquiat (American, 1960-1988). Signature on the lower right bottom. 6.5 x 5.5 in (16.5 x 14 cm). A poet, musician, and graffiti prodigy in late-1970s New York, Jean-Michel Basquiat had honed his signature painting style of obsessive scribbling, elusive symbols and diagrams, and mask-and-skull imagery by the time he was 20. “I don’t think about art while I work,” he once said. “I think about life.” PROVENANCE: Private collection (South America)
