"Basquiat @ Gagosian". Color offset lithograph. 1986. Signed in black marker. Edition unknown, presumed small. Cream wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Condition: folds (as issued?), toning verso, else very good. A rare poster. No auction records located. For the exhibition entitled "Jean-Michel Basquiat" at the Larry Gagosian Gallery, Los Angeles, January - February, 1986. This was Basquiat's last show at Gagosian and his last on the West Coast. Image copyright © The Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat/ADAGP, Paris, ARS, New York. Overall size: 39 3/8 x 26 1/2 in. (1000 x 673 mm).

Edition unknown, probably very small. Very light cream wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good condition. Basquiat posters are rare. We have located only 11 auction sales of his "lifetime" posters at auction, and not our example, which has not been offered before at auction. Issued for the Hartford Stage's production of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" which ran from October 3 to November 7, 1987, Hartford, Connecticut. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Overall size: 39 x 25 1/4 in. (991 x 641 mm). [28409] |1200| {R100} 3: JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT - Color silkscreen (?) front USD 4,000 - 5,000 Jean-Michel Basquiat (American, 1960-1988). "Quetzalcoatl [autographed and annotated exhibition catalogue]". Color silkscreen (?) front and back covers. 1984. Signed in black marker on the inside front cover. Condition: the catalogue cover is creased upper and lower right corners, contents very good. A scarce catalogue and rare when signed, especially annotated. Basquiat's annotation clearly means that one should look at the image on the back cover of the catalogue to see the entire composition. As is, it is split in two (see the color lithograph issued in 1985 by the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam, for its exhibition of the same show which ran from February 9 to March 31, 1985, to view the entire image). This catalogue was issued for the traveling exhibition entitled "Jean-Michel Basquiat: Paintings, 1981-1984" initiating at The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, August 11 to September 23, 1984. Numerous color illustrations, approximately 40 pages, published by The Fruitmarket Gallery. Images copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Overall size: 11 11/16 x 8 5/8 in. (297 x 219 mm). [28123] |2000| {R100} 4: JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT - Oil on paper USD 25,000 - 30,000 Jean-Michel Basquiat (American, 1960-1988). "Rammellzee (Study)". Oil on paper. 1983. Signed on the verso. Light cream wove paper. Fine condition - as painted. Provenance: Estate of a private collector, Brooklyn, New York, acquired directly from the artist, with the monogram signature verso as requested. Quite probably a preliminary drawing for the finished work which was used as the album cover for the legendary "Rammellzee vs. K-Rob" record produced in 1983 (offered elsewhere in this auction). The iconography is similar or the same in our drawing as the album cover, displayed here for comparison. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Overall size: 12 3/16 x 9 11/16 in. (310 x 246 mm). Image size: 12 3/16 x 9 11/16 in. (310 x 246 mm).

Original offset lithograph record jacket & record. 1983. Signed in black marker in Basquiat's crown logo, upper center recto. Edition of 500 (original pressing). Thick jacket paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Jacket in very good condition; some minor creasing lower right and upper right; vinyl and sleeve in fine condition. Please note that our example is from the original first edition, first printing/pressing produced during Basquiat's lifetime. The album was later reprinted after his lifetime. Rare and highly sought after. Due to the rarity of its original pressing, this album has been called the Holy Grail of rap records. A search of auction records going back 28 years yields no signed versions. The album contains "Beat Bop," a hip hop single by American rappers Rammellzee and K-Rob, produced by Basquiat and originally released in 1983 by record label Tartown. Initially distributed merely as a test pressing, it is notable for being featured in the hip-hop documentary film "Style Wars" and having the cover, as well as the record label (both sides), designed by Basquiat. The result of a disagreement between Rammellzee and Basquiat, the track has been cited as having an influence on artists such as the Beastie Boys and many experimental hip hop artists due to its chaotic, abstract sound.

Color offset lithograph. 1988. Signed in black marker, lower left. Edition c1,000. White heavy smooth wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good to fine condition. Scarce and highly desirable. The auction record for a signed impression of this lithograph is $8,055 (£5,000) at Bonhams, London, November 19, 2013, lot #136. Designed entirely by Basquiat and issued as the poster for his exhibition at the Yvon Lambert Gallery, Paris, January 4 to February 19, 1988. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.

Stiff album cover stock paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Good to very good condition.

Provenance: Estate of a private collector, Manhattan. Please note that our example is from the original first edition, first printing/pressing produced during Basquiat's lifetime. The album was later reprinted after his lifetime in a large edition. The most recent auction sale we could find was for $1,397 at Wright, Chicago, July 13, 2013, lot #144 (an unsigned example). The auction record for an unsigned example of this album cover appears to be $2,914 (€1,850) at Kapandji Morhange, Paris, April 15, 2008, Lot 102. The mixed media drawing of this image sold at Sotheby's, New York, 11/10/2011, for $302,500. Our example is the black vinyl (also issued with clear and white vinyl) with the original liner and accompanied by a C.D. Presents form, included with each impression. The cover was a part of the exhibitions "LP Show" 2003, New York, NY - MOMA / Exit Art; "Vinyl - Records and Covers by Artists" in 2005 in Bremen, Germany at Neues Museum Weserburg; in 2006 in Barcelona, Spain, and 2007 in Porto, Portugal.

Color offset lithograph front cover. 1986. Signed and annotated in black marker on the inside front cover. Fine condition. A rare catalogue when signed, especially annotated. Basquiat's annotation seems obvious (?). This catalogue was issued for the highly important exhibition entitled "Jean-Michel Basquiat" at Kestner-Gesellschaft Hannover, November 28, 1986 to January 25, 1987. Numerous color illustrations, 105 pages, published by Kestner-Gesellschaft Hannover. Images copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Overall size: 8 1/8 x 8 1/16 in. (206 x 205 mm).

Signed and annotated in black marker, upper center. Edition unknown, probably small. Light cream wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Fine condition. A rare poster, very rare when signed. No non-internet auction sales located. We did find an example offered with pre-sale estimates of $5,000/7,000 at artnet auctions, December 20, 2012, apparently going unsold. Issued for the highly important exhibition entitled "Jean-Michel Basquiat" at Kestner-Gesellschaft, Hannover, November 28, 1986 to January 25, 1987. Basquiat died on August 12, 1988. His "To Repel Ghosts" series takes its title "after the Swiss diplomat Claudio Caratsch, who worked for many years in Africa, explained to Basquiat that often African art and artifacts served the everyday functions of repelling ghosts. In 1986’s acrylic on wood, resembling a boarded up window or storefront, Basquiat paints the phrase across the middle panel of wood and underneath places a “TM” (for "trademarked").

    http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1984-8951.2012v13n103p32 Anormais na obra fotográfica de Diane Arbus Abnormals in the photographic work of Diane Arbus 1 Daniela Szwertszarf Resumo Este artigo investiga a relação entre a iconografia teratológica e a fotografia artística através da análise da obra fotográfica de Diane Arbus (1923-1971). Seu olhar inovador aborda questões relevantes sobre os novos sentidos do anormal. Nos anos 60, a redefinição dos conceitos de norma e desvio faz o monstro passar da ordem do outro para a ordem do idêntico. As produções teóricas de Michel Foucault, Jean-Jacques Courtine, Erving Goffman e Ieda Tucherman oferecem as ferramentas necessárias para a discussão sobre a obra de Diane Arbus na sua relação com o universo teratológico. Palavras-chave: Fotografia. Monstros. Anormais. Contracultura. Diane Arbus. Abstract This article studies the relation between teratological iconography and artistic photography through an analysis of Diane Arbus’ (1923-1971) photographic work. Her innovative gaze raises relevant questions about the new meanings of the abnormal. In the 60s, the redefinition of norm and deviance concepts turns the monster from the realm of the other to the realm of the identical. Theoretical works of Michel Foucault, Jean-Jacques Courtine, Erving Goffman and Ieda Tucherman offer necessary tools to the discussion of Diane Arbus’ work in relation to the teratological universe. Key words: Photography. Monsters. Abnormals. Counterculture. Diane Arbus. 1 Introdução Neste artigo, procuraremos relacionar o olhar específico de Diane Arbus com o olhar geral dos anos 60 sobre os anormais. No século XIX, as feiras de exibição das monstruosidades viveram o seu apogeu, celebrando o olhar cruel sobre o corpo diferente.

Diane believed that a camera could be “a little bit cold, a little bit harsh” but its scrutiny revealed the truth; the difference between what people wanted others to see and what they really did see – the flaws. [3] A friend said that Arbus said that she was "afraid . that she would be known simply as 'the photographer of freaks'"; however, that phrase has been used repeatedly to describe her.[4][5][6][7] In 1972, a year after she committed suicide, Arbus became the first American photographer to have photographs displayed at the Venice Biennale.[8] Millions of people viewed traveling exhibitions of her work in 1972–1979.[9][10] Between 2003 and 2006, Arbus and her work were the subjects of another major traveling exhibition, Diane Arbus Revelations.[11] In 2006, the motion picture Fur, starring Nicole Kidman as
