Head Trip

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi
Arguably one of the most important artists of the late 20th century is paid homage in this fantastic woven wool tapestry after Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960 - 1988). Named after his oil painting "Cabeza," this would have been created post-1984. Perfect for the avid appreciator of pop-art...this is meant to be hanged and not to be tread on!
Quite large at 77" x 58"
