Stamped by artist's estate, sticker label, Stamped and signed by the Administers' of the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat: Lisane Basquiat & Jeanine Heriveaux. Certificate of authenticity Included (issued by authorized authenticating body). //. King Alphonso by Jean-Michel Basquiat is a screenprint in colors, originally created in 1982–83 and posthumously printed in 2025. The work features Basquiat’s iconic three-pointed crown, drawn thick and bold over a chaotic, mask-like head rendered in red, black, and electric blue. Surrounded by schematic lines, mechanical forms, and a raw tangle of marks, the composition evokes themes of identity, power, and cultural fragmentation. The name 'King Alphonso' appears scrawled at the bottom, reinforcing Basquiat’s fascination with royalty, African heritage, and social hierarchies. With its mechanical forms and anatomical abstraction, the work hints at both royalty and cyborg-like dehumanization. The crowned head symbolizes not just an individual, but a complex figure of resistance, memory, and symbolic power.

What is East Village Art?
In 1981, Patti Astor opened the first art gallery in New York City's East Village, helping to launch the careers of various artists and musicians. The gallery started small but quickly gained popularity, contributing to the emergence of art movements such as Neo-Expressionism and Street Art in the area. The East Village became a hub for these new artistic expressions. However, the gallery closed in 1985 due to waning interest.
