Description
Rome Pays Off, from Portfolio II (2004), pays homage to Jean-Michel Basquiat’s vibrant and confrontational visual language. Executed in screenprint, this posthumous work captures the energy, rhythm, and iconography characteristic of Basquiat’s oeuvre, translating his graffiti-inspired motifs and bold color palette onto paper with clarity and dynamism.
Published under the supervision of the Basquiat estate and signed by Gerard Basquiat, the print preserves the integrity and authenticity of the artist’s original aesthetic, making it a significant addition to collections dedicated to his enduring influence. The composition conveys the interplay of text, symbol, and abstraction, emphasizing Basquiat’s engagement with identity, history, and cultural commentary.
Produced in a limited edition of 85, with 15 artist’s proofs, this work is in very good condition and retains its full sheet, framed for presentation. It exemplifies the continuing relevance of Basquiat’s visual language in contemporary printmaking.
