An extremely rare original 1993 exhibition poster for a posthumous Jean-Michel Basquiat solo show at FAE Musée d'Art Contemporain in Pully-Lausanne, Switzerland is being offered for sale by Graves International Art. The offset-lithograph poster, featuring Basquiat's untitled 1982 painting, was designed by Pierre Neumann and comes from a private collection in Hamburg, Germany. The listing notes that no other example of this poster has appeared on the secondary market or at auction before, and it is issued unsigned and posthumous.
This listing matters because it highlights the ongoing market for Basquiat-related ephemera, which continues to attract collectors following the artist's record-breaking auction results—most notably the $110.5 million sale of his Untitled (1982) in 2017. The poster's extreme rarity and documented provenance underscore the growing interest in vintage exhibition posters as collectible art objects, distinct from modern reproductions. It also reflects the enduring commercial and cultural value of Basquiat's legacy, nearly four decades after his death.
