La Hara is a painting created by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1981. The artwork, which depicts a skeletal police officer, sold for $35 million at Christie's in May 2017.
Jean-Michel Basquiat painted La Hara in 1981, a pivotal moment when he transitioned from street artist to an art world sensation. He began working in the basement of Annina Nosei's gallery in SoHo where La Hara was executed. Basquiat's early paintings from this period are considered his most valuable.
La Hara is one of the few works of white men painted by Basquiat. The artwork depicts a menacing white skeletal figure wearing a peaked cap against a red background. Basquiat incorporates vivid colors and diagrams throughout the painting. The word "LA HARA" is written multiple times on the left side of the figure. Drawing from his Puerto Rican culture, la hara derives from the Nuyorican term la jara, slang for police, which is a play on the Irish surname O'Hara. O'Hara was considered a common surname for New York police officers during the 1940s and 1950s. The bottom of the painting is gray with steel jail cell bars.

View translationTres bonne gestion, expedition et mot personnalisé. Decu en revanche par le produit qui n’est ni plus ni moins qu’une affiche ( impression). Donc ne vaut a mon sens pas plus de 15€.

Dear Sir, Buying online always has some risks, that is why it is my policy that if the client is not happy for whatever reason, always can return the product in the first two weeks. You are right, this is not a litho, it is just an offset print (poster) of good quality, open edition of course. Maybe the word “Print” in English is misleading and has a wider meaning. Nevertheless, it is normal practice to contact the seller first and find a solution before writing a final opinion on the Buyer’s Review. I’m open to it. Best wishes.
I recived the parcel i will be home at month end to look at it but i am sure it will be fine Thank you

View translationDe poster is niet glad, zit hier en daar kreukels in. Jammer voor het geld verwachtte ik een gladgestreken poster

I’m sorry for your disappointment. Print had mild imperfections as indicated, not interfering with image and not visible with proper framing. Over 20 years old print. Nevertheless, it is my policy that if the client is not happy, for whatever reason, can always return the print. Please let me know if that is the case. It is normal practice to contact the seller before complaining in the Buyer’s Review in order to explain the situation, we can always find a solution. Best regards.
