**Honoring a Legend in Stone – Jean-Michel Basquiat in Marble. **
Here’s a striking marble bust of Jean-Michel Basquiat, sculpted by the renowned Jeff Koons. Known for his meteoric rise in the early 1980s, Basquiat became an icon of the Neo-Expressionist movement, raw, and unforgettable. He challenged the art world’s norms and commercial structures, becoming one of the most influential figures of his generation.
Though his life was tragically cut short at just 27, his impact remains monumental. Koons' choice of marble, a classical medium, contrasts beautifully with Basquiat’s defiant modernity, making this a powerful homage that bridges eras and styles.
