🏢 Characterized by the towering Empire State Building, #JeanMichelBasquiat’s busy urban canvas marks the artist’s transition from the streets of Manhattan to the world of fine art.

🇺🇸The painting is filled with references that refer to a city in glorious disarray. As American writer Glenn O’Brien wrote of NYC during the ‘70s and ‘80s: “New York was cheap, poor, run-down and dangerous. In its own fabulous way of course”

🖌️The haphazardly pasted and painted sheets on the surface of the work recall the billboards and construction site walls that fell victim to bootleg advertisements and graffiti.

💼 The title of the work – Justcome Suit – embodies the chaos of the city’s business districts: Wall Street, and bustling Midtown, where the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal and Rockefeller Center are located.

🧠 Elsewhere, diagrams and medical slogans litter the canvas. The artist had an erudite knowledge of the human form, and he explored its structure of bones and body parts repeatedly throughout his life.
