When does he usually release his work? Is there a mailing list I can get on?

That is too funny.

and there aren't any signed by the artist.

There is actually, I meant there is some signed prints by him.
Very rare tho, probably around the same price as a signed napalm + a signed happy Chopper -/+ !
Add a Morons maybe.

[Francis]

You guys thought it was funny, but I still got negged up the fanny. Weird.

most "signed" prints end up really being "stamped", estate-approved prints....nearly impossible to find real signed ones.....unless you're wealthy

[morrissey1]

Yeah, off topic, but kinda on topic....just saw the movie about Edie Sedgewick....Factory Girl....not a great movie, but Guy Pearce does a great job as Warhol...worth watching just for him

[corisma]

Surely POW have heard of him by now lolol

some signed Basquiat items here

[bill]

I am looking for a Basquiat print. I am most interested in the Per Capita and/or Head print, but also would consider any of the others. I have multiple prints I could trade and I could also add cash. If you have any of these and you are looking to swap for a signed Banksy, Adam Neate, Antony Micallef or Francesco Clemente print let me know. Or if you are just looking for cash let me know.

[AxB]

i will give you the thirty quid to buy this

habitaten.artgroup.com/mall/productpage.cfm/?store=HabitatEN&productid=PD%2DHA00463%2DFP&did=65557

and you can just send me the signed banksy

[zclgt]

Try here:

www.artbrokerage.com/art/basquiat/

and here:

www.artificialgallery.co.uk/artist.php?form_load_id=49

Haven't got the ones you're looking for there's some interesting stuff

[Va Va Voom]

The head print you should find fairly easily,try DJTfineart its in NY.The Per Capita is as rare as rockin horse s***te at the moment,but if you do find one expect to pay up towards $50k for it....these prints have shot up in the last year.There was a Jawbone of an ass on art brokerage for $25k (i have this myself and it one of his best),why not chuck in an offer on this one ?

Thats amazing....It bares no relation to the print of the same name....never seen anything like this,must be licensed by the Basquiat foundation though.

[Pure Evil]

I almost bid $5000 on a Basquiat piece but something stopped me from pulling the trigger on it....

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130245190584

The provenance was sketchy

"Provenance:
Richard Lowden art gallery. There is also a piece of paper on the verso with more info. on this piece."

I tried looking up the gallery and found nothing there. Mind you it could just have been a very old small gallery...

kind of relieved I didnt spunk $5000 bucks but still, Basquiat is kind of the god of street artists.. IMO

so..whats the verdict ?? Is it a fake or a bargain Basquiat?

[romanywg]

Looks okay to me, but then what do I know.

[Deleted]

I would have pulled that trigger PE but then im like that...daft!, looks good though. Was that a good price?.

[Harveyn]

I have to agree Wizbong would have pulled the trigger if I had spotted this one. It looks great. You could have paid by Paypal and then had it checked out. Sorry PE thats probably not what you wanted to hear.

[graeme501]

if i had the cash, i would have aswell, because these opertunities wont pop up again

sorry PE

[Deleted]

if i ever sell a Basquiat i'll know to tell the forum about it first. sounds like this one could have gone much higher.

[eyectopus]

Its like the Cabeza print;

www.artnet.com/artwork/425675590/496/jean-michel-basquiat-cabeza.html

Pity the paper is damaged where the "Michel" should be. If I was certain it was a Basquiat I wouldn't be bothered that it was damaged in any way though.

I am sure it would have.

[dkla]

Wow - wonder if it's real. Can you imagine picking up a Basquiat painting for only $5K, especially considering the prices some prints around here are selling for? INSANE

[Winter]

All seems a bit too good to be true

Must be, there's just no way. It'd be like winning the lottery

[Photoxtc]

do you really think someone would be dumb enough to sell this on ebay and not take it to an auction house??? or am I missing something here???
