{"title":"Jean-Michel Basquiat | Prints \u0026 Editions","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eJean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) is one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century — a Brooklyn-born painter of Haitian and Puerto Rican heritage whose decade-long career produced a body of work that transformed the relationship between street art, Neo-Expressionism, and the New York gallery system, and whose auction record of $110.5 million, set at Sotheby's in 2017, places him among the most commercially valuable artists in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHe began as SAMO — the street art tag he shared with Al Diaz in the late 1970s, appearing on walls across Lower Manhattan with aphoristic phrases that announced a visual intelligence looking for a larger canvas. That canvas arrived when his postcard paintings caught the attention of gallerist Annina Nosei and collector Diego Cortez, and his career accelerated with a speed that the New York art world of the early 1980s had rarely witnessed. His friendships and collaborations with Andy Warhol and Keith Haring placed him at the centre of one of the most creative moments in recent American cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHis visual language is immediately recognisable and entirely his own: obsessive scribbling, anatomical diagrams, mysterious symbols, the recurring crown, the skull, the snake, text fragments in multiple languages — all deployed across surfaces of extraordinary physical energy. His Caribbean heritage, his experience of race in America, and his voracious engagement with art history, music, and street culture are all present simultaneously in his best work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eMajor retrospectives at the Barbican London (2017), the Guggenheim New York (2019), and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston (2021) have confirmed his canonical status. The works available through Creed Gallery are screenprints from his posthumous estate editions, accompanied by full documentation. Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jean-michel-basquiat-dog-leg-study","title":"Jean-Michel Basquiat | Dog Leg Study","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDog Leg Study, 1982–83\/2019\u003cbr\u003eScreenprint on Somerset Satin paper | 56 × 76 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJean-Michel Basquiat died at twenty-seven, leaving a body of work that has since become foundational to the story of late twentieth-century art. His prices at auction — regularly in the tens of millions — reflect a market consensus that is not going to reverse. Dog Leg Study belongs to the period 1982–83, when Basquiat was at the height of his powers: working furiously, exhibiting internationally, and producing the paintings and works on paper that now constitute his canonical output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is characteristic: a diagrammatic comparison of a dog's leg and a human foot surrounded by skull figures, handwritten text, all-seeing eyes, and the layered cultural references that made Basquiat's work simultaneously immediate and inexhaustible. The graphic language is direct — lines that function as both drawing and writing, images that propose connections without explaining them. This is not work that yields its meaning in a single viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis posthumous edition, published in 2019, is among the most collectible of the authorised print publications from the Basquiat estate. For collectors in Berkshire, Surrey, and London seeking a work by one of the defining artists of the twentieth century, this represents an accessible entry point into a catalogue whose originals are now almost entirely in institutional or major private collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable through Creed Gallery, Ascot.
