Jean-Michel Basquiat (American, 1960-1988). "Black". Color offset lithograph. 1986. Printed 1987. Signed in black marker, lower right. Edition unknown, presumed very small. Very light cream wove paper. Wide margins. Fine impression. Fine condition; affixed to conservation support sheet. Scarce, rare signed, and seldom seen. No auction records located. Issued for the opening night exhibition of "Jean-Michel Basquiat: New Works" at the Akira Ikeda Gallery, Tokyo, Japan (the exhibition ran from February 7th to the 28th, 1987).
