1988, A collectors must have, Jean-Michel Basquiat's Original Vintage Poster for his last exhibit/show while still alive (Basquiat died August 12, 1988). Jean-Michel Basquiat exhibition poster for his show at Vrej Baghoomian Gallery, NY, April - June 1988, photograph by Jerome Schlomoff. The artist Rick Prol, Basquiat’s last assistant ”....We do know that Basquiat was falling apart in 1988”. Prol helped the artist prepare for what became his final show, at the Vrej Baghoomian Gallery that spring. “He seemed like a ghost—like something was gone,” remembers Prol, who had been hired by Baghoomian in hopes that he might inspire the barely functioning artist. “He didn’t seem interested in anything—sex, or seeing anybody, or doing the work. He seemed very isolated and alone.”" - Liza Ghorban, New York Magazine, 2011. This poster also records Basquiat’s face which shows uneven skin brought about by Heroin use. A dark photo but enigmatic of a tortured Genius. Original & MINT.
