Artworks
Jean-Michel Basquiat USA, 1960-1988
110 x 214.9 cm
Phooey presents a monumental central figure constructed from stacked forms and cross-hatched yellow passages, crowned by Basquiat’s signature emblem of authority. Released in 2021 as part of the Estate’s initial screenprint editions, Phooey translates one of his most textually layered compositions into print. The crown motif remains among the most sought-after elements in his oeuvre, symbolizing both critique and reclamation of status. Collectors are consistently drawn to editions that combine figuration, text, and emblematic imagery, positioning Phooey as a cornerstone within the Estate portfolio.
