Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I'd think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous.

Original Basquiat prints
The most influential artist of the 1980'sDiscover original Jean-Michel Basquiat prints and art for sale at Andipa Editions, London. Basquiat dealers for over 15 years.
Arguably the most influential artist of the 1980’s, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s primordial and energetic style has eclipsed his origins of tagging SAMO© on walls across New York City. His explosive and powerful art explores complex oppositional themes such as race, power, identity and culture through almost childlike iconography weaving a rich visual lexicon that is as enthralling as it is recognisable. His works are emblematic of a time of both great creativity and struggle and are expressions of the rise and commodification of punk, graffiti, and counter-cultural movements that exploded out of the 70's and 80's. Instantly identifiable, Basquiat’s art tells of a young artist who was not afraid to confront eternal issues that were as pertinent to his own time as they are today. His timeless expression and style channel an almost otherworldly sense of being, understanding and creativity.
As a teenager, he was thrown out of the house by his father when he dropped out of school at the age of seventeen. Living on the streets, reportedly on a diet of cheap red wine and 15¢ bags of Cheeto, he etched out a living selling postcards with his drawings on and panhandling. An integral part of the New York urban scene of the 1980's (which included, amongst others, friend and collaborator Keith Haring) Basquiat rose to prominence almost overnight through a chance encounter with Andy Warhol.
Whetherfamiliar with the artist and his works or new to Basquiat, without a doubt his proto-expressive symbols, signs and images are part of our visual lexicon in 2024. From crowns to dinosaurs, chemical formulas to skulls - Basquiat’s rich hieroglyphics and style is distinctly recognisable. From films and tv to music and fashion, Basquiat’s imagery has inspired some of the most famous creatives for more than three decades as well as constantly achieving monumental results at auction houses across the world. Jean-Michel Basquiat’s prints and paintings are housed in important cultural institutions, museums and the collections of private collectors across the globe, a testament to his neverending popularity and influence.
