Description
Introducing the latest addition to Medicom Toy’s collection, Musart proudly presents the VCD Jean-Michel Basquiat Dinosaur figurine. As the vanguard of the underground movement in 1980s New York, Basquiat’s artistic influence continues to shape contemporary culture in profound ways. His paintings and drawings, renowned for their social commentary, possess an enduring resonance.
One of Basquiat’s notable works from 1984, “Pez Dispenser,” has been brought to life in this vinyl collectible doll (VCD) standing at an impressive height of 25 cm. This meticulously crafted figurine faithfully captures the essence of the black, red, and white dinosaur, while also incorporating Basquiat’s signature touch: the iconic crown.

The dinosaur holds a prominent place in Basquiat’s artistic repertoire, appearing repeatedly throughout his works. This prehistoric creature has been interpreted as a representation of both power and authority, while also serving as a homage to Basquiat’s fascination with science and natural history.
In addition to the dinosaur motif, the title of one of Basquiat’s pieces, “Pez Dispenser,” offers further insight into his creative intentions. This title alludes to the Austrian confectionary company Pez, known for their candy dispensers shaped like famous characters from popular culture. By incorporating recognizable imagery and referencing Pez, Basquiat skillfully directs attention to the profound influence of consumer culture in 1980s America.
