Jean-Michel Basquiat after. — Piano Lesson

Jean-Michel Basquiat after.

Piano Lesson

"Piano Lesson" by Jean-Michel Basquiat, posthumously produced as a screenprint in 2002, represents the continued dissemination of the artist's iconic imagery through the Estate's controlled reproductions. This large-scale work on wove paper, measuring 40 by 40 inches, bears the authentication marks of both the Estate executors and Brand X Editions, establishing its provenance as an authorized print rather than an original work. The piece exemplifies how Basquiat's visual language, characterized by energetic mark-making and layered compositional elements, has been preserved and circulated to reach broader audiences following the artist's death in 1988.
