Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols

Rarely seen treasures from a private collection unveil Basquiat’s creative experiments in his final years.

 

Collected together here for the first time is a remarkable private collection of late works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, acquired over the past decade. These include the paintings Untitled “Skull,” In Italian, Untitled (Baptismal) and Pez Dispenser, as well as a sculpture—one of the artist’s rare forays into the three-dimensional realm. Figures, Signs, Symbols accompanies the exhibition of the same name at Pérez Art Museum Miami, an evocative location that hearkens to the artist’s Puerto Rican and Haitian ancestry.
