New to frame
Shipping flat in a rigid envelope via certified express mail.
It is possible to collect more than one object, from the same auction, in the same shipment.

This crown image appears elsewhere in Basquiat's work, too, Perhaps he chose it because it has such obvious symbolism. A crown is a symbol of riches and power, and, by implication, it suggests the opposite: poverty and disenfranchisement.
Given that Basquiat's work revolved so much around documenting class struggle and critiquing power imbalances, it is safe to say that for him a crown did not symbolise something to be lauded, but, rather, was a symbol of inequality.
What Tuxedo depicts, then, is not a literal tuxedo but what a tuxedo represents in the abstract. Like the monarch's crown, a tuxedo is a symbol of power, and thus of power imbalances and inequalities within society.
Thus it is safe to say that Tuxedo is one of Basquiat's highly abstract and figurative works. This crown image has become something of a symbol of Basquiat's work, life and ideals - it appears above his name on his official website, for example. Perhaps, it could even be described as part of his signature.

Tres 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

De 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.

Great Service! The seller contacted me personally after the auction was won with a nice message. Item was good quality and as described. Item was send super fast with proper courier company. 5 stars
