JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT / Mix media painting on board , signed and dedicated on the verso :" For : Eloise Hertz 1983 Jean-Michel Basquiat "The painting is framed museum style and it in very good condition. Witty , charming and tenderhearted Basquiat seems to have been well liked judging by the number of people he was acquainted with. His skyrocketing career was cut short very early however his atistic influence and impact is very much present today… Basquiat made this drawing for a , then wheelchair bound, nine year old girl on his visit to Switzerland. The art comes from a private collection accompanied by statement confirming the direct purchase from Mr.Basquiat by previous owner. Despite our sincere effort to locate the previous owner we were unable to do so. Possible reasons range from change of address, change of name, change of location(country of residence) etc. Item is sold as Basquiat after. Note: International buyers may not be able to receive the frame due to size (if applicable)
