Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

Desperately Seeking Basquiat
180(Ht mm) 130(Wdt mm) 128
Basquiat is not just the most significant African-American artist ever, he is the most expensive American artist at auction ever in 2017 his Untitled piece sold for $110.5 million at Sotheby's: yes, Basquiat is bigger than Warhol. Part of the great Desperately Seeking series, with its cute compact format and lovely 'coarse sand' UV covers, Basquiat takes us on a journey from Brooklyn, to Manhattan, into the druggy subculture of Mudd Club and Club 57, to the unlikely locations of Zurich, Abidjan, Saint Moritz, the Chateau Marmont in L.A., Puerto Rico, Paris and Hawaii. Basquiat's is a tragic tale of a troubled childhood, an instinctive genius, huge success, but ultimately a victim of serious drug abuse and the pressures of the fickle and mercurial New York art world. He still feels so now as witnessed by his brilliant recent shows in London and Paris that it's hard to believe that he died from an OD, in one of Andy Warhol's lofts, way back in 1987, aged just 27.
