Description
A set of three limited edition Jean-Michel Basquiat Skateboard Decks licensed by the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat in conjunction with Artestar in 2021, featuring offset imagery of three individual early 1980s works: Basquiat Untitled (skull), Carbon ("Bone Test"), and Apologia (white).
Jean-Michel Basquiat was an influential African-American artist who rose to success during the 1980s. Basquiat’s paintings are largely responsible for elevating graffiti artists into the realm of the New York gallery scene. His spray-painted crowns and scribbled words referenced everything from his Haitian and Puerto Rican heritage, to political issues, pop-culture icons, and Biblical verse. The gestural marks and expressive nature of his work not only aligned him with the street art of Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf, but also the Neo-Expressionists Julian Schnabel and David Salle. “If you wanna talk about influence, man, then you've got to realize that influence is not influence,” he said of his process. “It's simply someone's idea going through my new mind.”
