Leap Year Luxuries LVII
Lot 676:
Measurement: ~14”x18” (framed) This is an original acrylic on canvas painting, In the manner of the world-renowned contemporary artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat. The artwork is exemplary of his unique style. The art is signatured on the front and also identifiable on the verso (back of the canvas). Basquiat signed his art in different ways and sometimes multiple times on the same artwork. His three-point crown is a recognized symbol of his signature and his earlier artwork is also identified by the word SAMO. He often used only his initials as his signature and sometimes used his full name on the front of his art and his initials on the verso. The crown is typically seen on many pieces of his artwork, front and/or verso of the art, as seen on the artwork in this Intervendue auction. The verso of Basquiat’s artwork is very important in the authentication process of his art. He was one of very few famous artists who painted on the verso and considered the entire canvas a flowing stream of his expression of his artistry. He loved professional boxing, Batman and other superheroes were favorite themes he used in many of his earlier paintings.
