YOUR LIFE IS YOUR MESAGE. MAKE SURE THAT'S IT'S INSPIRING.
Anyone who has followed the media closely in recent years has been unable to avoid one topic: “Black lives matter”. It is representative of the zeitgeist of an anti-discriminatory attitude that is making its way in free societies. Jean-Michel Basquiat discussed this topic in public as early as the 1980s.
Basquiat’s artworks are edgy and raw. Urban imagery and primitivism. Inspired by nothing less than his own life. Characterized by his self-portraits and a conjunction of various media – from words, letters and numerals to pictograms, logos and symbols. An impressive expression of diversity and against racism.

The boxset includes a short biography of the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and his attitude. He is one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His artworks are edgy and raw. A fine balance of control and spontaneity. Menace and wit. Urban imagery and primitivism. Inspired by nothing less than his own life. Characterized by his self-portraits and a conjunction of various media – from words, letters and numerals to pictograms, logos and symbols. An impressive expression of diversity and against racism. This way his art embodies the values and aspirations of a young, modern, international urban culture. And his attitude is more relevant than ever: showing life with its wide range of diversity.
