Jean Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), Dustheads, 1982, Copyright Estate of Jean Michel Basquiat, Licensed by Artestar New York, Printed in the UK
Dustheads is one of Basquiat’s most powerful works, rooted in events from his personal life. The two figures are believed to represent close friends who struggled with addiction to PCP, also known as “angel dust.” Through bold brushstrokes, vivid colors, and a stark black background, Basquiat conveys a raw sense of chaos and movement, reflecting the intensity and destructiveness of drug abuse. Printed on premium Monte Carlo 300gsm watercolor paper by St Cuthbert’s Mill, unframed and in very good condition, it will be shipped securely in a sturdy cardboard tube
