A limited edition 30th-anniversary exhibition poster for the historic Warhol/Basquiat collaboration is currently being offered for sale. The work, an offset lithographic poster published by the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in 2015, commemorates the iconic 1985 exhibition that brought together the king of Pop Art and the rising star of Neo-Expressionism. Signed by the publisher Tony Shafrazi, the piece is part of an edition of 300 and is being shipped from Hong Kong.
This sale highlights the enduring market demand for ephemera related to the legendary partnership between Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. As both artists continue to hold record-breaking positions in the blue-chip art market, secondary items like signed exhibition posters provide a more accessible entry point for collectors. The item serves as a historical document of the 1980s New York art scene and the mentorship that defined a pivotal era in contemporary art history.
