Our online auction, 'Contemporary Edition', features an eclectic selection of post-war and contemporary prints and multiples, including works of leading international names such as William Kentridge, Damien Hirst, Gerhard Richter, George Condo, and Jeff Koons, as well as contemporary talent such as David Shrigley and Tschabalala Self.⠀
.⠀
Included in the sale is this portfolio of four screenprints after Jean-Michel Basquiat (Wolf Sausage, King Brand, Dog Leg Study, Undiscovered Genius). At the age of six, Basquiat was hit by a car; his arm was broken and he underwent several surgeries. While recovering, his mother bought him a copy of Gray's Anatomy, the 19th-century medical textbook. This would have a lasting influence on his work, as evidenced here in 'Dog Leg Study', which features images of body parts overlaid with text.⠀
.⠀
The crown, as depicted in 'King Brand', is another of Basquiat's most enduring motifs. He began using the crown as his signature when he co-opted the doors of SoHo art galleries as his canvases. Early on, Basquiat described his subject matter as 'royalty, heroism and the streets'. Basquiat's regal warrior is, in part, an emblem of his success: Basquiat, 'King of the Streets', had conquered the art world.⠀
.⠀
Highlights from the sale will be exhibited in our 8 King Street Galleries, London from 9-22 September.⠀
.⠀
After Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), 'Wolf Sausage', 'King Brand', 'Dog Leg Study','Undiscovered Genius', 1982-83/2019. Estimate: £50,000-70,000.⠀
.⠀
Contemporary Edition — 10-23 September, online.⠀
