Screenprint in colours, on Somerset Satin paper - Signed and dated '12/7/17' by Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux (Administrators of the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat) in pencil with the Estate stamp on the reverse - Published by Flatiron Editions, New York (After Basquiat; postume edition.) // Jean-Michel Basquiat's Ascent (1982-83/2017) is a limited-edition screenprint from an edition of 50, measuring 22 x 30 inches. Estate-signed, this work embodies Basquiat's distinctive style, combining frenetic line work, fragmented text, and bold splashes of color. Dominated by expressive blue areas, the composition is a layered interplay of symbols, words, and human figures, referencing themes of spirituality, identity, and historical narratives. Phrases like "Flesh Spirit," "John the Revelator," and "Ascent" evoke metaphysical undertones, while figures and diagrams recall scientific or anatomical studies. This print exemplifies Basquiat's ability to merge high and low cultural references, blending raw energy with profound intellectual depth.

What is Figuration Libre?
Artwork by Keith Haring

What is Figuration Libre?

Figuration Libre is an art movement that is equivalent to the French Bad Painting and Neo-Expressionism in Europe and America. The term was coined by Ben Vautier and the Fluxus movement. In 1981, Robert Combas, François Boisrond, Hervé Di Rosa, and Rémi Blanchard formed the Figuration Libre group. The term can be interpreted as free style art, emphasizing spontaneity, freedom, and a rejection of traditional artistic conventions.
