Description from the seller

Michael Halsband – Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, 1985

Photograph symbolizing the meeting between two giants of contemporary art, Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Taken by Michael Halsband in 1985 as a promotional image for their joint exhibition at the Tony Shafrazi gallery in New York, it depicts the two artists as boxers in fighting stance. The work plays on the idea of challenge and collaboration, becoming an emblem of an era and a partnership that revolutionized modern visual language.

The contrast between Warhol, already a celebrated figure of Pop Art, and Basquiat, a young rebel of the New York scene, is powerfully conveyed through the physicality of the pose and the choice of costume. The photo is now considered an icon of pop culture and 20th-century art history.

A poster with a strong visual impact, ideal for decorating lofts, galleries, creative studios, or spaces with an urban and industrial style. Perfect for those who love contemporary art and the communicative power of symbolic images.
