"Basquiat on The Street" is an archival print by the late Ricky Powell, a renowned New York City street photographer who captured the vibrant culture of the city during the 1980s and 1990s. Known as "The Rickster," Powell photographed many iconic figures from the worlds of music, art, and fashion. This particular print features the legendary Jean-Michel Basquiat, an American artist of Haitian and Puerto Rican descent who rose to prominence during the 1980s. Basquiat's work is known for its raw, expressive style and its commentary on race, class, and culture. His art often featured graffiti-like elements, which made him a significant figure in the street art movement. In "Basquiat on The Street," Ricky Powell captures Basquiat in his natural environment, surrounded by the urban landscape that inspired his art. The archival print is likely produced using high-quality, acid-free materials to ensure the longevity of the image. These prints are often sought after by collectors and fans of both Basquiat's work and Powell's photography.
