This original printing was, of course, an extremely limited edition as it was used primarily to promote the exhibition in 1985. A bulk of these were plastered around New York [as described and shown in the movie Basquiat] and ended up in pretty bad shape as the ones that collectors could grab up for themselves were glued to walls and stapled to poles. Most were altogether destroyed. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME! PLEASE CONTACT FOR SHIPPING QUOTE.Check out my other items for more great deals on vintage art!THANKS FOR LOOKING! Place a Bid!
