Irony of a Negro Policeman, 1981

Open Edition

Before Jean-Michel Basquiat rose to become one of the most renowned artists of the 20^th century, his artwork was already legendary on the streets of downtown New-York City. Under the tag SAMO, his poetic and poignant symbols established a visual vocabulary that continues to inspire new generations of graffiti artists to this day. We are very proud to produce this edition of Irony of a Negro Policeman on skateboards as part of our collaboration with the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
