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.

Molto bella l' opera. Mi dispiace solo che il corriere mi abbia buttato il pacco nel cancello nonostante c'era mio padre a casa che lo poteva ricevere tranquillamente.
