About Jean-Michel Basquiat Large Porcelain Plate - Untitled "RRRR" (1982)
This Ligne Blanche Basquiat Large Porcelain Plate features the New York School graffiti artist's work Untitled "RRRR" (1982). Like Andy Warhol and other Pop Artists, Basquiat eloquently critiqued the elitist pedestal of art through his popular culture references and immediately recognizable imagery. Basquiat also presented challenges to the institution of Art, along with the graffiti artist Keith Haring, who both served as intermediary artists attempting to bridge the academically-trained artistic production with that of the intuitive and non-traditional graffiti art. Basquiat's art style was focused on themes such as wealth versus poverty, integration versus segregation, and inner versus outer experience. He was mostly known for his unique combinations of text and images. His pieces were strongly political and direct in their address of power structure and systems of racism.
