EXQUISITE The Item measures 25-1/2 x 31-1/2 framed and without the frame 24 x 30 Inches. The painting is signed on the verso.Urban scenes , city scapes and witty, cryptic aphorisms were Basquiat's most favorite themes/subjects.Behind his signature style however, there always seems to be a definite goal.As his peers noted nothig was arbitrary with Basquiat, down to every line and the smallest dot.Deep down he obviously very much cared what he was creating.

He grew up in New York City as a "graffiti kid" and spent time homless.He was introduced to art world by the way of hip-hop culture however quickly gravitated to the top of the art world. As noted by some authors Basquiat defined his art as "urban expressionism" drawing its power from the "gritty escapism", "clubbing" , bohemianism and the dichotomy between the classes...The artist was very affluent and active, creating a very large body of works.
