Portfolio II is a set of four hand pulled limited edition color screenprints on Saunders 410 hot press watercolour paper produced at Brand X Editions, New York. These four prints are based on Basquiat’s iconic hybrid word-image style paintings from the years 1982-1984, some of which are still owned by the Basquiat Estate. Basquiat produced less than ten different prints during his lifetime, and this suite was released posthumously by The Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat and published by David DeSanctis Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Each work is numbered, has the Estate stamp, and bears the signature of Gerard Basquiat, the artist’s father and administrator of The Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Portfolio II includes four screenprints: Charles the First, 61 x 48 in; Cabeza, 50.5 x 40 in; Rome Pays Off, 44.5 x 40 in; Jawbone of an Ass, 42.5 x 60 in.
