Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Dog Leg Study (1982) is a screen print that embodies the artist’s unique blend of anatomy, social commentary, and graffiti-inspired aesthetics. The composition is filled with fragmented anatomical sketches, phrases, and symbols that interweave themes of racial identity, history, and personal expression. Phrases like WORLD FAMOUS and ALL BEEF juxtapose with skeletal forms and disjointed limbs, evoking a chaotic yet profound exploration of human anatomy and cultural critique. Basquiat’s characteristic use of bold, spontaneous lines and handwritten notes creates an unfiltered narrative that challenges conventional art forms. This print, part of a posthumous edition published by Flatiron Editions in 2019, measures 22 x 29.9 cm and is authenticated by the Basquiat estate, highlighting the enduring impact of Basquiat's visionary approach to art.

Tom Wesselmann (USA, 1931–2004) was a leading Pop artist celebrated for his bold, vibrant works exploring modern American culture. Known for his Great American Nude series, he used simplified forms and bright colors to depict consumer goods, interiors, and the human figure, blending sensuality with abstraction.

I want my art to have the energy of the present.
- Tom Wesselmann

Working across collage, sculpture and painting, Tom Wesselmann was a prominent artist of the Pop Art movement whose works often stylised the female form as well as capturing elements of American life and consumer culture. Wesselmann initially began as an illustrator of comic strips and men’s magazines but received acclaim in the art world for his Great American Nude series in which he depicts numerous patriotic scenes - such as portraits of founding fathers or a photograph of a typically American landscape - using a palette of red white and blue with occasional khaki and gold; the majority of the images were sourced from discarded posters and magazines. Working with a number of materials, including Plexiglass, steel and aluminium, Wesselmann is diverse in his creative process and developed the first artistic use of laser-cut metal; Dropped Bra is an example of his acclaimed coloured, metal nudes.

What is pop-art?

Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
