Screenprint in colours, on Somerset Satin paper - Signed and dated '12/7/17' by Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux (Administrators of the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat) in pencil with the Estate stamp on the reverse - Published by Flatiron Editions, New York (After Basquiat; postume edition.) // Jean-Michel Basquiat's Ascent (1982-83/2017) is a limited-edition screenprint from an edition of 50, measuring 22 x 30 inches. Estate-signed, this work embodies Basquiat's distinctive style, combining frenetic line work, fragmented text, and bold splashes of color. Dominated by expressive blue areas, the composition is a layered interplay of symbols, words, and human figures, referencing themes of spirituality, identity, and historical narratives. Phrases like "Flesh Spirit," "John the Revelator," and "Ascent" evoke metaphysical undertones, while figures and diagrams recall scientific or anatomical studies. This print exemplifies Basquiat's ability to merge high and low cultural references, blending raw energy with profound intellectual depth.

What is Street art?
Street Art is artwork created and executed in public spaces, outside of traditional art venues. It gained popularity during the 1980s graffiti art boom and has since evolved into various forms and styles. Common forms of Street Art include pop-up art, sticker art, stencil graffiti, and street installations or sculptures. Terms like guerrilla art, neo-graffiti, post-graffiti, and urban art are often used interchangeably to describe this genre, which challenges conventional ideas about where and how art should be displayed.
