Jean-Michel Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) rose from the streets of New York to become one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century. Raw, urgent, and deeply political, his work dismantled the boundaries between fine art and street culture. The original posters in this collection were produced for some of the most significant exhibitions of his brief but luminous career — rare documents of an artist who changed the course of contemporary art.
