Introducing a remarkable set of coasters meticulously designed to replicate Jean-Michel Basquiat's iconic artwork featured on the labels of the original vinyl pressing for "Beat Bop." These coasters go above and beyond by including circular grooves and the center motor punch-out, capturing the essence of the original album design. Crafted from high-quality PVC rubber, these coasters not only provide excellent grip but also serve as a protective barrier against condensation.

Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the best known artists of his generation and is widely considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His career in art spanned the late 1970s through the 1980s until his death in 1988, at the age of 27. Basquiat works are edgy and raw, and through a bold sense of color and composition, he maintains a fine balance between seemingly contradictory forces such as control and spontaneity, menace and wit, urban imagery and primitivism. The Basquiat brand embodies the values and aspirations of young, international urban culture.
The conjunction of various media is an integral element of Basquiat's art. His paintings are typically covered with text and codes of all kinds: words, letters, numerals, pictograms, logos, map symbols, diagrams and more, and featured multi-panel paintings and individual canvases with exposed stretcher bars, the surface dense with writing, collage and imagery.
